Scoop,

Thank you for your post, however, your mec is of a completely different mindset. While 300 upgrades may not sound like a lot but when you take into account that the upgrades that we are talking about are widebody positions, narrow body captains and three hundred, or actually more, pilots on the list then it becomes more than just something to scoff at.

Regardless of what Bucking Bar says we have already lost close to 280 pilots since the beginning of 08 (110 in the last six months) and we will lose another 100-150 in 09. So, all you guys can deduct that from your new number, however we are running short and yes, mr. Bar, we are going to be well short by this summer. All we are asking for is the Dal mec to support us in asking for the implementation of the work rules that Dal enjoys and scoop is correct in that the more positions that us Nwa guys bid within our own airline will be less guys bidding your aircraft.
