Out of “yes”, “no”, and “unknown”, the default mindset should be “unknown” right now. I’m glad the MEC and management shared an update. That’s great. But until we get some language and explanation to read, learn how to wait and reserve judgement.

All along they said the global scope would be done outside of the rest of the contract and go to Memrat, BECAUSE it’s that significant.


I agree with what you’re saying. I’m unknown, but all this news tells me is that this better be a damn good deal for me to vote yes outside of section 6. If it’s just OK or a kinda good deal, then I say roll it into the whole shebang.

As an aside, since when did “AIPs” become so significant? I remember thinking that TAs were the things worth talking about. An AIP is worth about as much as an Elon Musk tweet at 2am.

LCA/SLI pay bumps only affect a few pilots and benefits the company's staffing issues. Absolutely not necessary or desired to negotiate that outside Section 6

Have those LCA rates been published anywhere?

I think you guys should probably get used to the idea of negotiating outside of section 6. When you get leverage use it to fix little using and keep raising the qol bar. LOA passages are easier to sell to board members too who see all the little QOL stuff as small costs (even ones that arent) and you boil the frog slowly from room temp rather than trying to spend 2-3 years doing a smash and grab theyll fight you on every inch.

Unless there are specific theater protections, this shouldn't pass. We have a tendency to overlook things and then wring our hands when it bites us later. I'm hopeful, but without specific language that protects us in all theaters so they can't just move chess pieces around to keep our flying low, it's a hard no.

I alluded to this 30 years ago with an ALPA rep. We need a one way check valve that prevents flying from being drawn down. Not a block hour number, but a percentage of flying. IOW if anyone's flying in ANY theater gets increased, ours does as well. If they decrease flying, ours stays the same, too bad for them. But I gu-ar-an-tee you that they will say something to the effect of "We have never been below that block hour number, therefore that would be something that is not needed, and would hinder negotiations".

Agreed .Trip7 has nothing good to say about the current MEC and loves the ADG….. suspect at a minimum

My bad.... sorry. Message deleted.

He certainly does seem to be laying it on pretty thick without having any real knowledge of the deal doesn't he.

You really are in some other alternate reality. The New C44 Reps aside from one FO rep are excellent. C66 Reps are Excellent. The current Delta MEC Admin is very good. Wayyyyyyyyyy better than the utterly incompetent BB and RS Admins
