1) He blasted the APA for holding the line on 50-seat scope and for their attempts to bring the regional feed into the mainline. He firmly believes (somehow...) that if they give up their scope that it will mean 1000 mainline pilots brought back from furlough.

2) The MEC is very much in favor of as MANY flow-through agreements as they can get, because it "couples the regional feed to the brand". Actively seeking to sign more flow agreements.

3) He said the 76-seat scope is "gone and will not be coming back to the mainline".

4) Compass will be out of the Delta MEC in October, pending a miracle; Compass will not get DAL numbers.

5) He says there are no violations by RAH/Shuttle America and that they are looking into it.

6) He knows that people hammer him on this (and other) boards.

All in all, it seemed as though he was trying to convince us that we need to accept our shoddy contract and pay because we are "Delta pilots". The scope battle just seems that much tougher now.
