not all WB flying is equal. ATL- ICN and ATL-GRU both require the same number of aircraft to service daily (2 each by my math) but require wildly different number of pilots. Given how little WB flying we do, I’m not keen on giving them a way to grow it even less. I’ll reserve judgment until I see the wording, but based on what both the union and the company said, this does not sound like a win for pilots, we will see.

Scope is too important an issue these days. I welcome an opportunity to get this done rfn. If its crap then its good to get that figured out now.

Some level? What that means is vital to deciding whether or not this is a good deal for us. Without absolute protections and iron clad language, which we do not have a history of getting, I will not vote yes. Tired of the "we'll get them next time," or "we didn't think they'd do that" narrative coming up time and time again. I will wait to see the specifics, but color me skeptical.

IMO it’s the most important piece of the contract. And I like that we’re deciding on it before the “TA”. Whenever that comes. It’s interesting though; the movement is sudden. Coincidence with UAL getting an AIP?? Read between the lines I guess…

The path forward includes:

When contractual language is finalized, the TA will be provided to your elected union representatives for a seven-day review (per the MEC Policy Manual).

The MEC will review, discuss and vote on the TA while in session (either at the June Regular Meeting in MSP or a Special MEC Meeting).

If the MEC votes to approve the TA, it will be sent to the pilots for membership ratification. A multi-faceted communications plan will commence (Negotiators’ Notepad, Virtual Town Hall, FAQs, podcast, etc.).

This agreement has been reached independently from the current Section 6 negotiations. This provides Delta pilots the opportunity to evaluate whether the agreement stands on its own merits.

You, the line pilot, will ultimately decide whether the new scope language becomes part of our PWA.





I'm not explaining to you how your nonsensical post makes no sense. Your further post about Memrat shows you haven't even read the Union update and here you are making nonsensical theatre drawdown hypotheticals

Wow. Nice way to treat your Union brethren. I had NOT received the email when I responded to your post hyping the agreement that has not been put into language yet. So I was responding in generalities. I have now seen the email and my thought still apply. For you to treat it as nonsensical is bordering on attempted gaslighting. At this point because YOU support it, Trip7, I am a NO.

Everything I've read says they have been very close to wrapping up this deal for a while. Seems like a lot of movement happened early this year. I don't think the United AIP had any relevance to this deal closing. I see it affecting the rest of section 6 in a much more meaningful way (either good or bad) once more details are known about it.

We'll have to see when the contract language drops. I'm confident the Union considered your concerns and has an adequate level of theatre protections

Because he's been given a list of talking points to sell by his management buddies who keep promising he'll be rewarded with his coveted desk on the 4th floor if he keeps it up. Duh. Look at all his posts, the majority on this thread so far. Giving us the hard sell. GMAB 777. Wait for the language to come out and let the people decide. Nobody cares what you think nor needs you to explain/sell it. Everyone knows what you think before you open your mouth.

Don't you have a belt loader to climb? Don't forget your backpack in the cockpit next time.

Unless there's theater protections this needs to go down in flames. No question management will just rearrange the chess pieces. Big difference between SCL and ICN or HND in terms of WB jobs.

"Didn't think they'd do that. We'll get 'em next time".

I read all the union emails, listened to the podcasts and try to pay attention but today's email still doesn't mean anything to me. What is a job based penalty actually look like? What is the timeframe for them to correct imbalances? What does pre-Covid flying look like verses today's flying? So the company could be forced to start flying a bunch of routes/planes we currently aren't flying? When would that take effect? One for one growth means plane for plane? As in Air France could un-retire an A380 and we could add a 757 to Iceland/Ireland? No theater protection means all flying would be grouped into one and then we just count airframes?

I am not the least bit confident, given our specific history and my 27 years of experience with 3 different airlines. I will reserve final judgement until I see the language, but given what they’ve written thus far, this will likely be an easy no vote.
