2) Beyond the direct impact of OE trip pulls, is there also an indirect loss of QOL and pay because of FO block hour reduction?
3) In the conversion from EASK to BH, why did we set the bar so far below the current ratio? followed by.. Once we take delivery of the remaining 330s and park the 747s during this contract, we still have a smaller average fleet size than AF/KLM. Wouldn't EASK guarantee more flying for Delta than BH does AFTER we "up gauge"?
4) What is your opinion of the economic viability of 50 seat RJs? Won't the economy make them go away on their own?
5) I've heard a lot of good points from DALPA supporting the TA. Can you share a few of the reasons 8 members of the MEC voted NO?
6) The courts publish dissenting opinions on divided rulings, has DALPA considered publishing the letters from the LECs that have viewpoints counter to the TA?
This pretty much sums up my post, above. Are you kidding?
#1. You need to know how much profit DAL will make in 2016. No one knows that. #2. You want an ALPA rep to decide whether you will lose QOL?! One person's QOL is different than another's. Why there's one guy on this thread who has thousands of posts on these forums. He has no life, his quality will not be affected. Yours, on the other hand.... 3). By voting no, you will guarantee delivery of dozens of more widebodies, so you should vote no. 4). No. Evidently not. They are still out there. 5/6 This is not the court. However, those LEC's letters are everywhere, including this forum. They are not secret, and have been widely disseminated. Would ALPA be considered to have negotiated in good faith if they disseminate materials contrary to the success of said negotiations?
