Default 50 seater financial obligations

Can anyone post a link to the financial obligations on the 50 seaters? I want an extended look at it, but all I get from the reps (notice I don't say MY reps) is that they don't want to overwhelm us with data and their crew room notes are on the way.

The document shows the end date on the financial obligations for the 50s.

Thanks

I prefer 2 767-300ERs to 1 A380. Good thing we get the bigger cut of the flying.

Think of it more like LOFT training for the TA.

I do too.

I prefer 2 anythings to a A380.

But I prefer at least 1 74F to 0 74Fs.



You saw the business plan Slow, any cargo talks or will ours only be counter-to-counter?

btw, the 50 seater swap for 76 seaters, I guess no E-175s right?

Saw 4 billboards today in ATL alone to complement the APCF banner ad experience of Delta E-175 ads. Seems the only time they show an airplane in a Delta ad it's an E-175 or the 744.

Hah! Great analogy!

ALPA in the left seat: "What!? Why do we have to do a V1 cut? When was the last time you actually lost an engine? That's completely unrealistic! I spend most of my time reading the newspaper at cruise! You should test me on THAT!"

Some guy told me once that you've lost the argument when you resort to just insulting the opposition.

Wouldn't SD have the commercial agreement?

Luv is voting on a side letter to pay red-eyes at +15%. Also they get 6.5 trips/calendar day. I guess we won't make more than Luv in 2012/13/14/15, after all. We'll get 'em next time!

P.s. their membership votes on all their side letters...what a concept.
