You try to compare is to some emergency in the aircraft. This has been going on for months now, how does that seem to be an emergency response to you?
Because there are still unknown variables. No one is claiming the Asia landscape is not changing. ALPA is confusing land as soon as possible with land as soon as practical. We are diverting and having someone else take our pax onward. Almost literally.


If I had an engine fire, I would probably deal with it before several months had expired so what exactly is your point? If we wait another 180 days, how does the situation change?
Thought we had at least ten years ?

It could easily take more than a decade to transition out of NRT. Apparently, your position is to wait until we are way behind the power curve until you do something about it.
Not at all. I simply see us having more time than getting it done yesterday, this is as good as we'll get, 85% gain in Asia flying. Take a few deep breaths. All the company did was say we weren't going to be in compliance. We offered this up and now it's the typical spin on how we saved the world and careers of DAL pilots.

The fact is that NRT is evolving, the whole world knows it, yet your position is to stick your head up your butt and pretend that nothing is changing
.

Nothing of the sort, it's simply not worthy of a Red Emergency. Thank you for your usual polite rational.

Sorry, this is not a helmet fire. This sounds like you are sticking your fingers in your ears and shouting out loud sounds hoping the world stays the same. Let me know how that works out for you. How well has the worked in the past for you?
Let me know your talking points for when they start displacing off the wide bodies and it waterfalls throughout the seniority list while we loose all the beach markets and total system block hours remain constant but DAL pilots are flying 15% less.
