I don't know why anyone wants to celebrate a hard cap on DCI at 450 jets as a scope win because we'll now have a hard cap on the total DCI fleet.
And then turn around and increase the hard cap on jumbo RJs from 255 to 325. Either a hard cap is a hard cap everywhere, or it isn't a hard cap anywhere. |
From the May 28 NNP:
"We will be the only legacy airline pilot group that has gained domestic flying without flying small aircraft and/or agree to substantially lower pay rates or different work rules." Btw, we don't see ALV + 15 and more short calls as substantially different work rules even though it will reduce required head count by 300. |

Will someone clarify the requirements of these lease obligations? Many of these planes will be coming up on their heavy maintenance requirements. We parked many widebodies in the desert rather than pay that enormous cost. Would they not be able to just park them and pay the lease obligation until the end of the agreement?
Cheaper that way. |

Math check:
No TA + 717s = 255 70+ seaters TA + 717s = 325 70+ seaters Nu

I love ya Nu, but
No TA + 717s = 600 rjs TA + 717s = 450 rjs 50 seat RJ's = scorpions with a short life span 50+seat RJ's = Alligators capable of swallowing your a$$ whole with a very long life span. Now let's do some math: ----------------------------------------------------------- No TA + 717's = 255 Alligators and 345 Scorpions...600 life threatening animals ....TA + 717's = 325 Alligators and 125 Scorpions...450 life threatening animals Sounds OK until you realize that scorpions die off in no time, but alligators live longer than humans. Then you realize you just let 70 more freakin alligators live in your house because you were so overjoyed at getting rid of 150 scorpions. Good grief. Oh well, back to watching Swamp People. Carl |

I have to say, I do love taking off 9L full length with flaps 5 on an MD-88. Eating up that entire runway and rotating past the guys waiting at N13 reminds me of flying the ER to Zurich... except now I'm only going to Florida. :cool:

The company can't have more than 255 LARGE (70+76) RJ's on property under our current contract. How is that not control? Nice spin though.
When half the 717s arrive.. the mainline fleet will exceed 767. Management can then convert all the 70 seaters to 76s.. And they have absolutely no reason nor mechanism to get rid of the 50s... all 3 hundred and something of 'em... Then... management can start parking mainline aircraft... with no corresponding reduction in RJs.. But you are right, the TA sucks. I'll only make $30 more than a UAL 747 captain. |
I can't seem to find in the NNP about Section 1, the language regarding the long term plan to reduce the number of jumbo RJs...

So vote no and get all the flying back at mainline. If it's Delta paint, it should be Delta pilots.
Your reps shouldn't agree to anything that doesn't get all the flying back. What is so wrong with a Delta pilot flying a 50 seat RJ? It wouldn't take inches away from your wang. |
