I think if the contract was an overall good deal for the pilots, we would be seeing either a bigger paycheck, positive movement, or both. It's that simple - those are the two ways the airline affects your life. So compare your W-2 to last year, and compare your bidding power/schedule to last year. Are you better off or not? I would guess that even with the pay raises, most or all of that money has been consumed by movement down the list and/or flying a worse schedule.

Cost neutral or not, reserve, blah blah blah. Are you better off money and time wise with C2012 or without it? And which way is the trend going?

W-2 is 10,000 dollars less than the previous year, and significantly more junior... on a NARROWBODY vice a WIDEBODY.

BOOM.

Thats more than I thought that don't have in seat IFE. They have stopped all mods for that program similar to winglet mods.

I guess putting in lie flat mods that reduce seats cant be coinstalled with winglets that help reduce fuel costs?

HA! 80ktsclamp's clamp show has a different format now.

It's on at:

12:30am
12:32am
04:43am
06:57am
07:01am

It used to go to like 2-3am, but then that was it until noon. Times have changed.

Hopefully I can get some good Z's in tonight

Alfa,

Would it be correct to state "the MEC voted in agreement, rendering any speculation with regard to noncompliance moot?"

I would like to know your thoughts on ALPA National enabling Pinnacle to do a pilot contract with Delta management without even a "how do you do" to the Delta MEC. Do you agree with Bill Robert's redefinition of "Delta flying" to only that flying performed by Delta pilots currently? Are you aware his previous statements on the record were clear that Delta flying includes the flying we perform, as well as the flying we permit? Do you agree there is significance in that change in perception among our leadership? What is your opinion on "Delta flying" speaking only for yourself?

Hopefully you can.

Not saying you are fatigued, but if you are, we have plenty of reserves.
