What are the thoughts on the VA JV? Looks like they can increase VA departures from 14 to 21, and DL can cut ours from 7 to 6.75. If they cut below that, it's ok because they have until 1 Apr 14 to reach compliance. If they don't, we'll be really really mad at them and not appreciate it at all. If they still don't, we will try to work out a new LOA. If they still don't, we'll give them just one more chance. And if they still don't, be ready because we will grieve the issue!

They teach some tough flying in the armed forces, but did you guys never practice PAs? Sad.
And insubordination>not wearing your hat

Insubordination would involve not following a lawful order...the point of this (borderline ridiculous) discussion is whether the order is lawful.

The pilots not wearing the hat are the ones who have a different background than you, is that about right? Too funny.
Actually, have you ever seen a female pilot not wearing the hat? Must be a guy thing--in fact, since those guys must be different from me I'm guessing they all are trying to compensate for something.
But I think you're on to something: military folks always wore their hats. But their leaders did as well. So we just need RA and the boys to start wearing management uniforms with hats and set the example. All will be right with the world.

Virgin gets 21 flights a week and we get 7.
The population of the US is 310 million. The population of Australia is 22 million.
Why would we agree to this? Why does Delta agree to this?
