And by large jets I assume you mean JVs, and I agree. For the small jets; with the consolidation happening and operational improvements forthcoming, things like performance and profit sharing will only get better for the mainline. I find it hard to believe that most mainliners genuinely want to see the status quo changed. I question if all the "retake RJ scope" rhetoric I hear from these pilots is genuine after years without action, and years of reaping rewards that will only get better. MAYBE, maybe, I'd support the pilot going to work having an S3A but no one else. 30+ years at Delta and then get bumped by the spouse and children of a 2 year regional employee? Totally unacceptable. |

"Getting 9E pilot to work" Ahh, he can still get to work, he just has to be more careful. We all got to work back in the day without JS. S3A isn't a critical item for these guys.

They would drop the trip before they paid $10K to bump...come off it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Just curious, so should a delta retiree's spouse (employee was... let's say a reservation agent) going on vacation have priority over an active 9E pilot going on vacation?
On a side note, sub-contracting has recently ballooned outside of the airline industry as well. If you ever get a chance to check out the google or Facebook campuses, you’ll find only a fraction of the workers there are actual google/Facebook employees. A surprisingly large number of them are contractors. |

It would have to be on the honor system for 9E crew members to select they are working. That would subject 9E crew members to discipline if they selected the wrong choice, which I'm sure ALPA would not allow.
I trust most people, and if a few lost their travel privileges for abusing the system that wouldn't hurt. |

Why not? Alpa doesn't prevent me from getting fined for using an S2 I don't have.

I mean, our JS reservation system won’t let you reserve to/from if is more than 1 day before/after your schedule. It can be done, they (DL and IT) probably don’t want to spend the resources to make it happen. |
