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.

I agree on your sentiment and you really describe the essence of our PWA.
It's a legally enforceable contract.
Unless it's in writing and unless the written language is court-defensible, it really doesn't exist from a legal standpoint. "But they promised that..." won't really get you anything.

"Deal me the ace...and I'll make it worth your while"

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.

Pinnacle 50s
 
Does anyone know of the current or tentative plan at Pinncale regarding the 50s? How many are they trying to dump?

Thanks

All of their side letters? Wow, that'd keep things from going astray.

But remember, they pay too much, so we don't consider them a peer for comparison purposes.

There is nothing in this TA that makes me feel like this is a good deal. The 4:30 per day is way too low. Why is it so hard to build productive trips? This can be a low cost improvement by having a 6 hr min day. I put on my uniform when I head out to work to make money not sit in hotel rooms. Was this not spelled out in the survey? Can't we have anything that makes us feel like this is a improvement. Delta has proven that they will build trips to the min allowed. I avg 7 hr trip credit on a 5 day trip. How sad is thAT.

Delta renegotiated the CPA for 9E's 50 seaters. I believe they extended them through 2022. I'll have to look it up. That's around 141 CRJ200's.
