You know what they say, "Hindsight is 20/20!" I suspect we will have a good idea of how things turned/are turning out with regards to the new contract in Jan. 2014. (About a year and half)
The paranoid part of me wants to know who "they" are though!:eek::) Denny Nu |

Agreed. The unionoids crying victory and the opposite for the nay sayers is premature. We'll see...
Also I thought we usually had the next summer block hour plan by this point in time. What's the delay? |

Just for the record, Boomer, F-8s did gun down 4 MiG-17s back in WW V.

Hey Boomer,
If the DAL guys don't recognize your natural abilities when avalanche hiring kicks in, I still have some buds over at Purple...:) Regards, BG |

True, but in the end, he picked his honey up at a trailer park, just like the rest of us.

Here is the situation the company was in: 1) they had too many of these that they did not want... http://simairline.net/delta/crj_1_1.jpg 2) they had jets they wanted but couldn't have because of us... http://www.flowings.de/photos/medium/flowings_2947.jpg 3) and they had these unwanted jets drop in their lap by a major competitor who never wanted them and were so desperate to get rid of them that they'd pay us to take them... http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3056/...147d1ff958.jpg Ya'll all agree on those fundamentals? Now you could believe that in order to afford the 717 we had to get rid of CRJ-200s but in order to do that we had to convince Bombardier to take them back and the only way to do that was to take CRJ-900s in exchange. That's fine. I hope you're right. Or, Like me, you sadly believe the company decided (smartly) to arouse us with 717s (all pure growth) in order to get us to swallow something we don't like (allowing more jumbo RJs). Toss in the idea of shrinking DCI to raise arousal, but, it seems that was happening without the TA anyways. It's, um... unfortunately... a lot like this... How Female Arousal Overrides Their Disgust During Sex: Study And we did it. So all we have now is the hope that the new jumbo RJs that we ceded to the company come in exchange for mainline airframe growth even though that's no longer required. And sure those of us who said no to the TA could shut up and move on and forget about what happened with scope, but, some of us feel that we need to continue to raise awareness that the precedence and safeguards we set are insufficient if not unfavorable to us and we should not agree to anything like it again. That's my two cents. |

I think if we needed pilots for summer 2013 flying we'd have had announcements regarding the hiring window opening. Usually we don't need to hire for the fall, but who knows.
Also I thought we usually had the next summer block hour plan by this point in time. What's the delay? The block hour plan for next summer will come out in october as usual. |

I did recently get a memo in regards to applying to be the new lead new hire mentor, but that has more to do with the current lead becoming a DC-9 captain. It did peak my interest in regard to hiring.
