I was a No voter. I really pray that in 3 years I was dead wrong and DALPA and all their NNPs on the positives of this TA are correct and we are in the middle of a hiring wave that propels us all to better seniority. I have saved the NNP showing the hiring wave and we'll see how it goes. I'm going to move on and accept what we have.

God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
Courage to change the things I can,
And wisdom to know the difference.

I cannot change what we have and I've worked real hard to have the wisdom to move on.

If that's not flame bait.....I don't know what is.

Change starts with one pilot. When you running for Rep?

Kilroy, your name might as well be KilWaves. I anticipate your comment providing incoming artillery. Glad you're happy.

If you understood this agreement, you would understand that it will reduce the number of RJ pilots flying under the Delta brand. Thanks for playing, though!

So, we don't need a new 737-900 base, it will be a 73n base like all the other 73n bases (not to say DTW couldn't be a new 73n base when CVG closes down). Anyone see the 737-900 differently?

Thanks
I think that's just in reference to a new 737 base, like DTW most likely. You're right though, a 737 is a 737 when it comes to bases.

Heading to the barn for an overnight. I’m begging you; please don't let me wake up to see more half naked Dude pictures. I haven't mentally recovered from this morning. A buff half naked guy wearing my Navy hat is undoubtedly going to give me nightmares. For the sake of humanity, can anyone change the buff half naked guy wearing my hat to a long legged busty female with no morals? You’re going to wack this post aren’t you ACL? Man, politics are out. Sex is out. TA is a done deal. I guess we are reduced to sports and deciphering our latest fate.

I would also save the current seniority and category lists, to get the real picture of where you were/are. Since the merger, we have retired 4.8% of the pilots, but I have only moved up 2.5. Not a good ratio!
