"How" has already been sufficiently developed on the "KCM for FA's" thread.

Was that last pic taken in the Ethiad crew lounge? We need nicer digs for hub sits!

How might this affect the "Guaranteed interview"?
Apparently the one shot policy has been circumvented.

Now I am starting to wonder who at Delta was in on these negotiations. There are many long standing Delta policies which have been ignored.

The clean up on this is going to be interesting to watch.

The one shot policy has been circumvented, and classes are going to be completely packed with flows, leaving little room for military people.

I bet flight ops is going to be ticked.

This sounds like it might screw guys like me hoping to get on. Really hoping that they limit flows

This could set a bad precedent.

It screws a lot of people and sets the stage for lawsuits one might think.

The reason I bring up the military thing is because flight ops loves their military pilots. My class was all civilian and the flight ops guys were about to pull their hair out when they found out.

I've got friends that I'd love to help get on from other carriers as well, and this does nothing to get the cream of the crop at DL.

And then there's how DL mgmt circumvented DALPA on this. That is a major can of worms.

So is it, anti-military? Thoughts? Buzz?

Don't forget Capt. Moak.

He was in on it too... that's his name right next to Anderson's signature block at the bottom of the agreement (along with the Pinnacle CEO and PCL ALPA MEC chair)
