Why DAL's proposed ratio is inequitable

I love that you guys simply leave out that DAL announced parking some planes also. Does this ring a bell?
"Delta Air Lines announced a domestic downsizing to help negotiate rising fuel costs and a slowing US economy, with each carrier planning to ground 15-20 mainline aircraft this year and DL also aiming to slash its workforce by approximately 2,000."

Well NWA was supposed to have already started taking delivery of 18 firm orders of 787s with every intention on exercising the 50 other options. We dont have those planes yet because of Boeing not because anything we could control.

That does blow. Although, by this time next year we'll all be griping about something else.

I thought that would mean that Compass is furloughing since you have a flow down on them? I hope that survives intact with the merger as that could make a huge difference between hitting the street and being Captain on an EMB170. BTW, how many of these does Compass have now? I saw two in JAX yesterday, I think 1 in ATL and one or two at DFW.

Better to make a deal first
Wisdom! The only certain result of an arbitrated list is that many pilots will be furious, and that MECs will disclaim responsibility for it.

I forgot the flow down. I guess because I'm not too impressed with it and am still upset with the fact that that flying isn't being done by NWA pilots. The last I checked, they are still hiring and we have stopped. Which blows since the company paid for thise aircraft with our paycuts. I am not sure how many jets they have, but they seem to be everywhere.
