Hey Carl,

Thanks and Happy New Year. I read Slow's response to my post and contemplated it.... for a minute. I was late to a New Years party and decided to put it in a hold for later.

You captured everything I had planned to say.

One point I do want to reiterate.

YES the Committee guys are getting C2K pay.

Slow, you responded that they are not getting C2K rates. Rates, of course not. But if you take 92, or even 87 hours of pay.... on the highest equipment they can hold plus stipends/per diem, etc., then their W2's look no different than they probably did in 2001.

Mind you, while they are representing the interests and needs of the pilots, this windfall is paid for by Delta, not ALPA.

So, while line guys are dealing with an average line value of 72 hours a month from Nov-March with little to no open time to pick up, and while still under a bk contract, those under full FPL see no change from C2K.

Tell us again how they are down here in the trenches with us fighting and are not swayed at all by the company's funded influence?

So easy to change. How about the line pilots pay you all to represent us?
