So allegedly Aeromexico reduced more flying than us and even had to cancel some routes/park airplanes.... Yet somehow we still managed to fall below contractual levels. Something just doesn’t add up.

If Delta wants to comply, they comply. Did with Virgin.

They don't take this Administration seriously.

You mean Delta Mgmt isn’t scared of our big, bad MEC?

Oops, sorry. It won’t happen again.

Did they not say that previously with a previous administration. Yeah it’s ALPAs fault this time.

No, the compliance is more and more voluntary when it suits their purpose. Hmm. If I choose to comply at will... looks like we’re headed down that road. Sect. 6 the old fashioned way, at least they have motivation to protect the brand image now. A public spat is the best way to show shareholders “sumpin’ ain’t right” and the 1st amendment is all it takes.

And the average line pilot doesn't take you seriously so now what?

Let me guess you'll reply with something along the lines of "they should" and that we desperately need you back?

Didn't management do something similar under Donatelli? We had a full Stockholm syndrome MEC willing to carry any amount of water for management, did DAL not take them seriously either?

There's a process for all this with two possible outcomes:

1. An AeroMexico JV LOA that includes a Global JV solution

2. Proceed with the Grievience process and each pilot gets awarded $200 a year from now.

IMO, if the company shifted flying from Mexico to more profitable Caribbean flying and overall block hours did not fall this violation is no big deal. Common sense says protect your global flying hours and let the company move the planes as they please.

Moreover, I believe we need more big picture thinking when it comes to our contract rather than getting wrapped up in minute details. Some pilots would blow a gasket if the contract says black pens and the company gives you a blue pen. Instead of making the company pay for cheap Bluetooth keyboards that hardly anyone will use, that time, effort and money could have negotiated a new DH LOA
