Thanks for the answer. Is there a union interpretation on what that means?

So, now that there are several good rumors and everyone I've talked to is amazingly only one degree of separation from either the NC or people "really in the know" - I thought maybe we could try to consolidate all the info back into one thread (I know - wishful thinking).

The Delta plus (from three-ten, percent/dollars/whatever) is nice to hear, and I believe the scope balloon Kirby is trying to float isn't going anywhere - my real question is what about soft pay and credit? I have friends at FedEx, United, Delta and SWA who all seem to be getting 100+ hours a month... and complaining about it

- why isn't this as big an issue or have my "people in the know" (sarcasm on!) conveniently left this part out?

Thanks!

My biggest concern is trip trading - after watching some of the videos on wings it looks like AA has green/red days making trip trades hard to do? I know at airways I have gone months without flying a single trip I was awarded by using the bid sheet.

That's funny. Every time I go "on the bid sheet" (and I do it a lot ), I get "sorry I have nothing for you." Are you on the 190? Maybe it's different on that.

Bus - I got that a lot too (bid reserve for football this month), but I'm persistent and keep trying. I only hold secondaries but am able to use it as long as I start trying on my days off.

We can do a LOT better than AA's and US's systems for trip trades. We should start with the Delta and FedEx contracts and go from there.

Thanks!

Delta's pay offer can always be negated elsewhere like scheduling and health care. Either we have true parity with Delta in all respects or a CBA that is sub-standard.
