Just an interesting observation, the forum has morphed from we want more Widebodies to, we want more Pacific WB flying because it's 4 man as if the rest of WB flying doesn't count. Eerily similar to how the 765 all of a sudden wasnt a "real WB" when new hires started being assigned the plane. Pilots are a fickle bunch.

What were the financial results for DAL in 2019? What did the balance sheet look like? (3 years ago)
What are the financial results forecast for 2022? What's the balance sheet look like?
Surely you can understand how the negotiating environment was much more favorable in 2019 than what it is now. No?

China is a freight training running down hill at the USA and there is nothing stopping it. China will be the biggest economy in the world here shortly. Once they get over their idiotic zero COVID stance and open up to the world again their economy will be back at full speed. Nearly every thing of substance in the USA, is made in China. Where would the US's largest company, Apple, be without China? They're aren't going to make all those iPhones in Vietnam

I could have a lengthy geopolitical debate, but now is not the time or place.
China is in China’s way. A single party/authoritarian system always fails. China is on the way out.

Outside of profit sharing, financial results are the owner's (shareholder's) problem. Employee wages are an expense that is subject to inflation just like jet fuel and gate rental.
One hour of pacific = 2 captain hours. One hour of Atlantic is 1 captain hour. Scope is about protecting pilot jobs at Delta Air Lines. Giving away an hour of 4 pilot ops for an hour of 3 pilot ops is a HUGE loss if the agreement is written that way. We need the final language before getting too deep into debating the merits of scope. I'm all for having flexibility in fleet deployment that helps maximize profits as long as it protects Delta Captain jobs in the process.

Not sure if that was directed at me or not, but to recap, guy expresses concern that a potential lack of hard theatre restrictions might impact the availability of future widebody positions in his Pacific-dominated domicile and your response is mockery and dismissal? “Not enough Vietnam WBs?” Classy.

lets see what the language says before we start getting too excited one way or another.

LOL You must be joking. With each passing day, the possibility of getting a retro check that matches inflation gets farther out the door. You can say 'no' all you want, but a 4 year 20% retro check ain't gonna happen. Brace yourself for either a small first year raise and full retro or a big first year raise and a signing bonus. You are right about the LCP part though. And I can also tell you that if the LCP portion of the contract isn't eye watering, they are gonna lose a bunch of them.

He did come here right on queue pumping this thing like it is the best thing since sliced bread and no one even knows what's in it. Sorry if some of us are hard to please when it comes to protecting our own jobs despite the people on here working against their own best interests.
