The PWA stops them. We have no established rate for E170/5s, CRJ -900, yes.

Change my mind.

1 WB for every RJ not flown at mainline period. Then if they park a WB they park 2 RJ not flown at mainline. Tied with that is 60% of JV flying is performed by delta pilots.

Did that change your mind? :)

The 35 RJ's in question will almost certainly go to RAH to replace the 22 that went to AMR. RAH owns slots, that pre-covid, were worth more than all of DCI combined. Not sure what they are worth now however, because the slotting restrictions were suspended.

Sure, but 330 pay rate should = 350 if that’s the case.

maybe a little. I wouldn't waste one nickel of negotiating capital on the existing RJ fleet. Not one. If they want more, they pay. Dearly. If you want to retroactivate the demise of already existing RJs and tie them to the existing widebody fleet, I would listen to that. But at this point I don't gaf at all about what is already out there. You shouldn't either. That is a waste of time, energy and more importantly, capital.

Here's a point to be made. How many of the 14,000 pilots on the list benefit with an additional RJ? How many benefit with a new 330/350? And the only reason I bring up 330 is that it is becoming our biggest widebody fleet and will replace the 7ERs in due time. I would shoot for 350s, but the 330 is my 'negotiated' position.

Don't waste time talking about RJs.

I don’t know about that, you’ll have to enlighten me.

Why not just shut Endeavor down. Let our other two subcontractors pick up the left over flying.

You’re given an opportunity to interview with Delta after 18 months as PIC. Our HR department basically wipes your ass for you the first day, you just have to pass the shrink. If you couldn’t get past having your own ass wiped for you the first day and you somehow get sent home. Then the next time you receive participation points and get to skip steps, I mean JFC. At the same time we have men and women who served our country given no freebies whatsoever, full interview, two days.

Today I show up to work only to see an endeavor pilot with his tie more to the right then straight, blazer undone, no hat, with that orange progress lanyard giving me the look. I think it’s time to reorganize the flying.


All times are GMT -8. The time now is 10:13 PM.
