I am not sure that everyone comprehends that the big credit reduction is simply bringing credit back to 2012 levels and is like a 1.2% reduction. There is no more blood in the turnip! Nothing is gospel...ever. That said, I knew it was a major claim with nothing offered as proof. But, it’s Section 6 so every idea no matter how ridiculous is on the table. I’m in what appears to be your camp on this...without a major fleet reduction that statement won’t come true no matter how much management wants it. I agree the numbers just don’t make any lick of sense. GP |

I would look down the road, and apply the same gun that SWA put to the heads of the AirTran guys. At some point there will be a downturn in the economy... poor mouth will be cried... flying shifted to ensure survival.... done. It's a process. Look at it another way. Do you think the airline industry is in it's final form forever and ever? What do you think is the next step? If it is global consolidation, which do you think will happen: Virgin (for example) gets our pay rates and we get their health bennies? Or will the company (whaever it is called) starts shifting costs to the most cost effective points? It's mostly a thought exercise at this point, but I would wager that the industry is not in it's final form. Your opinion may differ. The only constant in this business is change so of course I don’t believe Delta as we know it today will be the same when I retire. That’s just life. But, you seem convinced a global merger of some kind will happen so I was asking if anything in the PWA expressly allows or forbids it. It’s not a trick question as I truly don’t know. GP |

Thats like 6 years of retirements with zero hiring. No way.
Agreed. The only thing I’ve heard close to this is they want to get us down to the same pilot/airframe ratio as AA which, allegedly, we have a ways to go to get to. GP |

Someone on FB is claiming RG wants us down to 11000 or fewer pilots. How is that even remotely possible...if it’s true at all?
For a corporation that craves a premium brand image, I’m blown away if they truly feel we can maintain our momentum with 3500 or more fewer pilots. Not even the sodomizer can be that good... GP |

If this were true, would we be actively hiring right now? No, we would not be.
