He's also on record as supporting "plug n chug" or whatever they call it, that would allow him to stay on the 747, even when they move that equipment to another base. Grandfathered forever, that's his view. Oh.... but he only supports it to save the company training costs.....

Yes,
I remember that discussion yesterday about moving the entire CVG 767 category(of which I am a part of) to Seattle and somehow not allowing the pilot group to fairly bid into the category. That would never happen at Delta because the union would see that as unfair to the majority of the group. In fact, last week at a lounge show in ATL, the director of Crew Resources alluded to this fact, saying he wishes he had a magic wand and could instantly turn all the 767 domestic categories into ER categories without incurring the training costs, moving expenses etc. He knows that would never happen and in fact they plan on closing the CVG dom. category and totally rebidding it as an ER category, open to any and all who wish to bid it. Thats how we do things at Delta
