So, If Delta buys them, WHO, pray-tell, will fly them. Mainline, or SDI?
I'm not sure how many a/c we still own or if those a/c are taken into account in these positive a/c numbers later this decade. As I've said quite a few times though, Large RJ's flown at DCI give me heartburn. Hope we don't offer them anymore ....FOR ANY AMOUNT OF PAY RAISE (Hope our union can read large type) |

Your talking about the raises but you haven't mentioned giving up work rules. Guess you wanted to "completely ignore the real world"

It seems to me DALPA should be trying to get the E-jets under the umbrella, since Embraer will probably build more bigger better.

EDIT: Turns out it's worse then I thought! :eek: Even though the airline, which is targeting rivals like Sunwing and Transat, has studied different possibilities including a partnership, the new low-cost carrier will be 100 per cent owned by Air Canada with a separate management team. That’s because an arbitration decision issued in July to settle a contract with the airline’s 3,000 pilots permits up to 50 airplanes — 20 Boeing 767s and 30 Airbus 319s to be used for the discount airline.

The new rules are great for those guys. However, if you would prefer a meaningful monthly cap in order to create more jobs and advancement and spend more time with your family then we have gone backwards in a big way. Ask yourself how many current F/Os would be captains right now and how many new hire f/o's we would have on this property if everyone was flying 75 hours with bow wave and spillback rules like the old days? |

That's only true if you're one of the guys who wants to fly 95 hours/month. The new rules are great for those guys. However, if you would prefer a meaningful monthly cap in order to create more jobs and advancement and spend more time with your family then we have gone backwards in a big way. Not everyone wants/needs all that time and some people want the money to meet financial obligations. This ain't a country club. As quoted from my previous handler: "Shut up and fly." PS - I make 200% more and have 200% more time off than I did three years ago. Careful how entitled you sound with these comparisons. We're trying to raise the bar aren't we? |

I've been floored by our stock price changes since the earnings call. Our management team is pretty much screwed if they do, and screwed if they don't. Like you said, they miss EPS by 1 freaking penny. DAL had perhaps the smoothest merger in airline history. DAL has lead the industry in capacity discipline. DAL is aggressive in all cost factors, yet these quarter to quarter guys continue to hammer our stock. :confused:

Operator We’ll take our next question from Mary Jane Credeur with Bloomberg News. Mary Jane Credeur - Bloomberg News Hi, folks. Can you talk a little bit about how you’re going to afford that new pilot contract? Richard Anderson Hi, Mary Jane, this is Richard. Sorry for not saying hello. When you look at the overall value that we’re going to create as a result of unlocking the ability to refleet plus the productivity that has been built into that agreement, we’re confident that it will be an important part of our ability to get to unit cost over the next couple of years to improve our margins and our return on invested capital. Glen Hauenstein And, Mary Jane, this is Ed. One additional thing, we also reduced the profit sharing going forward and that’s an important part of helping to fund that cost growth. Mary Jane Credeur - Bloomberg News Sure. Okay. Thank you. http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mc...sthro1_400.gif |

Obviously Mr. Bastian has not been briefed by slowplay or he would have known that the cut in profit sharing was far from "important" in funding the pilot contract and was actually insignificant.
