From: VEOP Retired! 7ER A was last position
Can you explain how DALPA took back the flying with the 717 and 220?
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.

We get positive space on the second commuting flight. That's the reason for the S3A. On the second flight, Delta has to buy out a revenue passenger, up to $10,000.

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.

Obvious hyperbole, but this is the reason for the change. They have a me- too with us for unable to commute and it costs too much.

I trust most people, and if a few lost their travel privileges for abusing the system that wouldn't hurt.

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.
