Because they're in the crewroom saying DCI will decrease to 450... but would it decrease to anyways?

(1) The beginning of 2015
(2) The end of 2015
(3) What is the net difference whether we accept, or refuse, this TA?
I think the answer to #3 is probably fewer RJ's and certainly fewer seats outsourced without the TA.

Thanks, DALPA.
And thanks for signing off on the ridiculous sick leave policy.

I'm trying to figure out why we accept that DALPA won't allow a "white paper" on this TA. They're supposed to be looking out for us, not trying to steamroll us and cloud debate.
Has anyone seen any "white paper" type of document (other than the great posts here) that blows the lid off this thing and reveals all the hidden "gems" that DALPA disingenuously omits from its propaganda?

There aren't a whole lot of DC-9's left (20?), but I expect there will be quite a few older 757 and A320 parked. Through 2015 we're scheduled to take 88 B717, 25 MD-90 added in service and 60 new 737-900. That's 173 aircraft in 3 1/2 years. When you factor in the DCI jets being parked and the block hour ratio, a lot more Delta flying will be done by Delta pilots.
