This is my point....doesn't this fall under scope somewhere? I thought the new language holds them to a certain % of DAL seats.?. Just seams like as we reclaim RJ 50 planes for 717's that we are seeing many 757 flights going to AK. SEA-ATL. SEA-SLC etc. WTH?
Baja. ps...funny as I posted this post an AK banner ad appeared at the bottom of my APC page. "Our lowest Air Fares. Price Guarantee." Dont forget (double edge sword) Alaska can also compete with us on certain routes concurrently while they are teaming up with us.:( TEN |

So who will eat the mandatory divesture when DL partners with VA?
Now if they were 15 year old Airbuseses, then we would be set. Merge, then realize that, surprisingly, their markets aren't making money (no money in trans cons, plus the obligatory "we can't make money LAX-SEA"), pull down half the markets, and stagnate for a few more years for the pilots. |

Legally? There's no FAR that directs any of that... oh, you mean by the contract.
Yeah, there's really little direction there either on who they pick. As crew scheduling goes, their job is to cover the trips and follow the contract while doing so. If you read the details of the contract, there are a few gaps that allow the schedulers to do what they want to do to assign things. it should be far more computerized than it is, with no loopholes, and if they can't find enough people per the rules, though luck. hire. but considering the problems that's create, the likelihood of changing that is as good as getting rid of say, pbs. |
a rumor from a rumormill...
According to a post on FT, it looks like the planned T2 to T4 walkway has officially been scrapped. From what I heard, Delta will instead add more shuttle buses running more frequently, and the buses will use a dedicated travel path. |

When assigning short call, can scheduling skip someone just because they won't be available for long? Looks like for tomorrow there are two guys junior to me (and with less short calls) in the same 1 day bucket as me. One guy is on short call, and the other guy isn't. Turns out the guy that isn't is on short call today until late this evening and has a golden day on Sunday whereas I just have an XX day Sunday. Since he's done tomorrow at noon I realize that makes him of less use to scheduling than me, but can they just skip him like that and move on to me?
I'm hesitant to call them on it because I have a feeling they'll just leave me on my early SC and put him on SC as well, which does neither of us any good. I just more curious if they can legally do it. |

I thought you were released at noon automatically whether you were on short or long if you had a golden day the following day. :confused:

CNBC just had a nice piece on Delta touting how smart the move on getting the 717s and MD90s was.
"So, will other airlines do this?" "No, this was a one time possibility- no other fleets like this exist." (cue grumbling about the oh so touted "plan B" on the sales job on the TA ;) ) |
