confirm these are swaps with the pot AFTER the 0700 pcs run for next day and 2-day coverage?

I think you are "over thinking" it. The point is, guys are crying foul over the concept of the company designating all open time as SS, thus no ability to swap for one. But the point made is, guys often look up trips that pop up 2-3 days out, and almost always start with a 0 in the pairing number. Those are never designated SS, and are often nice ways to "work smarter, not harder."

Wow.

That’s a surgical smackdown. Those guys brought receipts.

And I think we’ll all keep the receipts for years as this Gummster fire burns down the Delta brand/revenue premium.

Sounds like we'll be getting new lanyards soon.

I wish we would get new fire extinguishers. Gummster fires seem to be spreading faster on blue sky days! Maybe we need a asbestos bunker?

Should have started with that. Love the lanyards. Gumm is burning this place to the ground.

What a fool. I’m not saying yes to any concessions. It’s abysmal mismanagement of what was previously a set it and forget it machine.

Gumm trying to make us a global endeavor has killed morale, the brand, metrics, everything.

manage with tegridy!

I am starting to believe that Gumms abysmal failure is because he secretly works for another airline. There’s nothing else that can explain this level of incompetence.

My man Tegridy. Agreed. Still amazed he has a job here. HT too. Especially after the now infamous "racketeering" comment about us.

The businessmen don’t care about our feelings toward them nor theirs toward us. How do we as a pilot group make the business case to stop running dal as if we’re edv? This rotation construction is getting awful and yet mgt keeps chipping away at our ability to manipulate our schedules. Same with sick treatment. The regionals get away with this bs because of the transient nature of their employees- we are losing options and I only assume more ‘limits’ were part of gumms non-starter concessionary proposal.
