You must not know the mind set of mangement. They will always win in the end. This TA will not reduce anything on the RJ. In fact it will increase the amount of larger jets and increase the QOL for us. so thank you for playing.....

Because The Manager said that my huge ego wouldn't allow me to stay away until the vote was in.. He mad a bet, and now I expect him to pay up. After that I am leaving this place for good. I didn't miss it while I was away, and there is too much immaturity here now to make it worthwhile to stay. Sorry if I offended anyone, but facts is facts. This is a good deal, and it is gonna put a lot of money in the pockets of DAL pilots.

Comair's starting to resemble the movie "Titanic" when the ocean is finally coming over the deck and everyone finally understands what's about to happen. I'm sure when we get September's schedule the lights will flicker and then go out, the stern will start to rise out of the water, and the real screaming will start. Not to mention all the F/A's cats in the water. So mainline hiring would be nice.

They won't be because that's what Carl and his buddies Sehan and company do... They won't leave until they are forced into a corner that they cannot extract themselves from..

There is no way this can possibly be true.. there was such a sell out of the DAL pilots by this MEC.

Significant increase in 76 seaters without having to grow mainline as PWA required. Getting to keep 70 70-seaters the PWA would not have allowed per the number of 76 seaters added.

Well, I thought it would pass at around 63% so I had that right. So disappointed... I hope I'm totally wrong and everything is great in 3 years, I really do... Well, more $$ I guess, and we'll see on the next AE if I continue to slide backwards.

I want to say "Thanks" to FTB and ACL and gloopy in particular for some outstanding research and graphical analysis. I read everything the union sent me, and I still think that the best info and analysis I got was from you guys. So thanks for your diligence and sharing of your brainpower, it was not wasted even though the vote went as we expected, not hoped.
