AA planes are already financed. Interest rates are going up. What will Delta get? AA is positioned nicely. We just need someone to run the show.
They announced late yesterday that they will be working on a new contract 24/7 in January. That makes me suspicious. We signed last time just before record profits. If Delta and United start negotiating at a rapid pace then we should all step back.

If you use over 100hrs in the sick year, then yes, doc note.
CPO has the option to make a good faith inquiry if below 100hrs…like if you are sitting short call, get assigned a trip, and then bang in sick, that’s gonna raise the CPO eyebrows because it smells of “I’m out of position”.
That very scenario occurred when the 747 was being phased out in DTW. It was down to only one departure a day, plane left and then had to air return…original crew would time out so they called in all the short calls…all banged in sick…turns out they were sitting at home multiple time zones away.

Make a pros and cons list.
Delta:
Bases in NYC, ATL, DTW, MSP, SLC, SEA, LAX
Questionable cockpit culture especially the RDPs in ATL. Military vs. civilian issues. "Where's your hat, son?" "Put that newspaper away, son". Guard policing and constant ambiguous ride reports.
Horse blankets when it's 90 degrees.
Autocratic management style only a notch above SkyWest. They will treat you like a child. Pilots are the only union. DALPA usually bends over anyhow.
The company is profitable and the pilots make good money. Strong balance sheet. Aging fleet will have to be replaced. Debt will go up.
Arguably the best product in terms of passenger experience. Loyal business customer base (HVCs).
Work rules are okay except their schedules. Reassignment rules worse than a regional. You won't fly what you bid.
210/356 day bid awards and new hire seat locks. Nearly guarantees 2 years in NYC if you're junior.
