Maybe Ed wants to more closely align the operation with DHS threat levels? Based on the non-contract uniform palettes though, you would think we would have adopted more catchy colors. 😁

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...

I think they’d love to have Delta pilots down to 0 if we’d just relax our darn scope enough. #outsourcingrocks!

It's an absurd statement made to rile folks up

That’s my first thought; however, that’s the first time I’ve read or heard about a staffing level that low. Everything public so far just alludes to making due with what we have now.

As long as no one orders a Code Red without admitting to it.

{"Did you order the Code Red?" - "You're GD right I did." }

There was an 88 FO a couple years ago who made well over 400. Commuted too, and didn't work much harder than the average high ALV lineholder or junior/hammered reserve. Buddy bid drop your whole line with pay, get 3 or 4 regular GS trips. Boom, triple pay while not working any harder than your original schedule.

Global merger. Skyteam.


It's not if... but when.

Does the PWA specifically allow this, either in published language or lack thereof?

Sure, but all the other pilots are on our list, we can bid their equipment and base, the airline’s HQ has to remain in the US, and the Delta PWA is the universal labor contract. Totally allowed.
