Lyrics:

Back in the High Life Again

It used to seem to me that my life ran off too fast
And I had to take it slowly
Just to make the good parts last
But when you're born to run, it's so hard to just slow down
So don't be surprised to see me
Back in the bright part of town

I'll be back in the high life again
All the doors I closed one time
Will open up again
I'll be back in the high life again
All thee eyes that watched me once
Will smile and take me in

And I'll drink and dance with one hand free
Let the world back into me
I know I'll be a sight to see
Back in the high life again

Girl, you used to be the best
To make life be life to me
And I hope that you're still out there
And you're like you used to be
We'll have ourselves a time
And we'll dance the mornin' sun
And we'll let the good times come in
And we won't stop 'til we're done

We'll be back in the high life again
All the doors I closed one time
Will open up again
We'll be back in the high life again
All thee eyes that watched us once
Will smile and take us in

And we'll drink and dance with one hand free
And have the world so easily
Though we'll be a sight to see
Back in the high life again

High life
High life
In the high life again

We'll be back in the high life again
All the doors I closed one time
Will open up again
We'll be back in the high life again
All thee eyes that watched us once
Will smile and take us in

And we'll drink and dance with one hand free
And have the world so easily
Though we'll be a sight to see
Back in the high life again

High life
(Back in the high life)

Oh, we'll be back...

Dear PCN (of over 2600 subscribers),

Reco Letter

Its been a little while since I wrote a Reco Letter for a pilot applicant, but hiring is continuing at a feverishly pace and if you want to help Delta put quality up front in the cockpit………you can. A reco letter from an active or retired pilot gets an automatic look at. So come on…….sharpen the pen and write a letter on behalf of someone you know who would make a good employee. SEE BELOW IN THE Misc Section for the link to HL issue 297 which has a lot of HIRING and RECOMMENDATION details.

D & S Plan (Trust) Funding

In Jun many of us received a brief summation of the D & S Plan (Trust) which indicated a ground shift of how Delta was going to fund the Trust moving forward on a pay as you go basis. This prompted me to quickly call and ask the ESC to ask for the complete D & S Trust report (which we have a right to) I got told they don’t handle that. The ESC slid me off to the Delta Pilot Assist (877-325-2359) which I called for my complete report. 4 weeks later I received a mailing from Delta. But it was an estimated Summary of Benefits for my survivor when I die. While this page is is sort of helpful to have in the file with a few notes on it, IT IS NOT WHAT I ASKED FOR. I’ll try again to get the full report but won’t hold my breath.

If any of you members have got a full report of the D & S Plan (Trust) , maybe you could scan and send me a PDF? I would be most grateful.

New PCN subscriber Sign Up:

As you most of you know our PCN is a private subscribed to online community. We maintain a list of that virtually eliminates spammers or other online undesirables from joining with a simple sign up procedure, so the applicant can be screened. I am very happy with how this has worked as we can be assured that everyone on the 2670 member list is legit.

If you know of a pilot who wishes to join our community and receive our notices they can easily and painlessly become a subscriber for FREE by simply filling out the SIGN UP form. If a current member vouches for a friend and simply sends in their former Delta position and email, I have always considered this an appropriate vetting and added them directly to the list.

Thanks for helping the PCN remain the largest retired Delta pilot online community and for helping keep our mailing list made up of all legit subscribers.
