I guess the point of his post went over your head.

You do realize that previously Delta was in the process of furloughing over 1300 Pilots while COMAIR and ASA were hiring hundreds of Pilots - many gleeful over the resultant quick upgrades.

Delta and our affiliates are not always affected similarly.

They staggered the leaves so that some will return before the summer to cover the increase in flying. They will also return the TDY flight attendants from catering. With those returns I don’t see the 71 hour line value increasing much toward the summer norm of 90 unless they offer more leaves. They have also stated they will handle month to month staffing changes with PLOC’s.

I’m not interested in comparing ourselves with the FAs, for a great many reasons.

Maybe starting with the fact that it feeds the company effort in undermining the union.

Strong scope language is very important.

A tired meme. I’ve never seen any disrespect for RJ guys at Delta or NWA. We’ve all come from somewhere. Some had it harder than others. Are we going to compare glove sizes next? Please... could we. Or who’s Dad can beat up another’s dad?

Thats why any idea of management bring back 35 of the 76 seaters parked because of Compass Flow Down is gone, is a no from me.

I hope we can get that flying in house in a couple of years when we are out the Covid arena.

Apples to oranges.

Agreed. ‘We’ hate it when we make gains in our contract and then the FA’s say “Me too, me too!”, but then want whatever perceived deal they got? This movie isn’t over, time will tell how things shake out. Good on them. I’m worried about us.
