Bill Lumberg? Is that you?

As we go through the latest thrash about growth and contracts, could we all remember one thing? If Delta merges with another airline, their planes and pilots don't become Delta pilots until something happens. What is it?

A joint contract.

Don't make the mistake of trying to plug a merger into the current contract. There will have to be a new one.

Thrash away.

Yeah, that's worked so well at APA...

Can you show me a business model where the owners (members) elect the CEO, the management team and the governance structure (MEC Chair, Committee Chair, LEC reps)?

After 30 plus years if I could change one thing that would be it. And ALPA President too.

Whodathunk! 30 year old airplanes might get parked (the first of the 757's turn 30 in 2014)!

100 B737-900
88 B717
49 (total) MD-90

Yup, some airplanes might get parked...

Hmmmm....

Is 796 greater than 722?

Is 425 less than 619?

I do think (hope) we'll start hiring sooner rather than later...
That really does need to be repeated. I'm amazed at how many don't understand the fleet count with regards to the TA.
