See I have about a 2hr butt then it's time to land so your west coast flying works just fine for me. I find they speak much less Spanish out there.
Want to keep playing tit for tat? Or can we have a real discussion?
Not playing tit for tat. Do you think the 76 CAL IAH guys like to see their flying go away? What about the 75 UAL LAX guys? The point being, we need to be on a single list ASAP. Voting in a contract is the only way we will see a list. SO, If I see an industry leading contract (DAL-like) that our joint neg. committee spent 2.5 hard yrs on that significantly decreases the block hours and seat miles allowed at Express, I will be inclined to vote yes.
76 seats is the DAL limit, AMR just went to 80+ by a stroke of a Judge's pen. You see how that bankruptcy thing works?
Industry leading does not have to be <70 seats.

PS. I have "been there got the tshirt and stomach virus" too....about 12 years ago on brand new 777s with 2 years of seniority while passing on a guppy Capt upgrade. What goes around comes around.
