Um, no. You will have to do that if you are getting out of a freeze for your first Captain seat:
4. A pilot who is under a category freeze and who has not previously completed training for
38 a mainline Captain position shall nevertheless be eligible to be awarded a Captain
39 position. In such event, the balance of such pilot’s existing category freeze shall be
40 added to the category freeze resulting from the Captain position award.
But You will have to show me where it states that for new or re-established categories.

Alaska is a competitor. The SEA to SLC route was a big hole in their system. They could not book passengers on the Delta flights. I suspect in the end we will all exist together on the route. I don't think Delta will drop any frequency. Alaska will generate their own set of passengers feed from the SEA end.

Has anyone seen the movie, Flight? Our hero is a cocaine addict who sleeps with his flight attendants and drinks while he is flying. He represents a porn star or prostitute better than he represents a professional pilot. Disgraceful. Oh yeah, he dumps all his fuel on the MD-80 while in an uncontrolled dive. Don't waste your time. The entire movie is garbage.

When you are asked quetions re. this movie, by your non-flying friends, just say, "Oh Yeah, that was completly true! It happens all the time, you just never hear about it because most of us are not flying wasted! I had to do that just last week (roll inverted, dump fuel, etc.). It didn't make CNN because we rolled it right side up just before we landed, and taxied to the gate, no biggie."

Merely not dropping frequency is a loss for us when demand clearly supports more frequency. If your primary concern is to look out for Delta pilots...then how can you be OK with DAL giving it away?
The goal--"our" union's goal--should be ADDING frequency and GROWING, not ceding ground to a competitor and trying to convince us it's no big deal when we permit hub raiding from a partner. No wonder we continue to shrink and they continue massive growth. WHY IS DALPA OK WITH THIS?
Can DALPA do anything about this development? Perhaps not. But they sure shouldn't be convincing to bend over and take it.
DALPA's stance on this matter is another in a long line of utter ineptitude.

I couldn't read the article, but I think the daily PEK was supposed to kick in in october. I certainly could be wrong. My understanding wrt to DTW is that they are going to start seasonal AMS in december.
