Ed’s Interview With Maria
 

Via Deltanet you can view Mr. Bastian’s interview with Maria Bartiromo.

Good news all the way around, especially international.

Clearly, 100%, our domestic market is mature and the future 5 to 30 years is international growth.

C2019 scope will be make or break for our future Delta pilots. We must have the best scope ever written. Crystal clear with immediate penalties. Scope with written examples and no room for the crushing defeats we have suffered in the past.

When you look around the global airline system, it is in our executive best interest and our shareholders best interest for international flying to be on DELTA METAL.

Scoop

We're gonna need to order some widebodies for that, beyond the handful we have on order. Seems like Ed is betting on the Boeing NMA/797. I'll be very surprised if Boeing actually starts delivering them in less than 7 years.

Here's a public link to the interview video: https://www.foxbusiness.com/business...bill-this-year

He is definitely going to have to order more 330s.

Perhaps we should consider pay banding.

There should be some good deals on used wide bodies

Good intermediate step

Nah, we should stick with the old way because that's the way it's always been. :rolleyes:

I agree with you. Time for pay banding.

As long as the job loss is offset with increased vacation hours.

What about the prevailing thought that many pay rates offers protections in the event of a disparate merger? For example, say a hypothetical narrow body LCC (or a portion thereof)? Some people with their ears to the train tracks are of the opinion that more consolidation is coming and if so, that's where it will happen.

If having one rate made a large legacy airline even a little more vulnerable to a full relative fleecing from a narrow body LCC, that would obviously make it a complete nonstarter.
