I bet it's a lot. Add that to their pensions, and once again, Delta pilots will take it in the pooper while the newly acquired folks rake in the cash. And these guys are from a bankrupt carrier with ZERO future. I'm surprised DALPA hasn't already started telling us why we should be happy with that.

But hey, at least we got a huge payraise and vastly improved work rules in this contract for playing ball with the company. :rolleyes:

I assume by your remark that you feel like you took it in the pooper with your last merger with NWA????? Care to explain just how? :rolleyes:

He's just on this forum because he can't stalk SC. Think JD ;)

For a 777A its less than 15%. (205-235) Lets wait and see the terms a deal if any before we get all upset about how we get screwed. The details of any sort of deal that does or does not take employees will be vastly different than the NWA/DAL deal. Lets just wait and see what develops. The talk on here is about what the corporation may do, not how we and or bargaining agent will respond. The head of the merger committee for DALPA is first rate, and one of the smartest guys I have come across. I'm sure his committee has worked out all the scenarios with every possible combo.

Whoa, I got dizzy looking at that. Where and when was that? I've never in my life seen clouds do that. You should send it to the Weather Channel or something.

For some reason I just don't think any DOJ in either party would approve a DAL/AMR merger. Imho

Sooo.....to add on to this morning's idea....ifn' you won the 300M....what plane would it be....? For ME......

Ahhh... the Beach 18!

Two round motors AND it's a taildragger!

Nice.

I'd have to go with the Pitts Model 12,

AND a Catalina PBY.

So... the MD88/MD90 cockpit upgrades are on hold?

I saw pictures of the upgraded dog cockpit at least 3 years ago. I was told that they were coming soon. I'll believe it when I see it.
