Laughed all the way across the country. Boss took it for the return leg. Was supposed to put it back when he was finished. Good hunting!

Bar my man, you've outdone yourself! I'm opened those and started reading at the hotel bar and by the 4-5 one had beer coming out my nose and crying. Needless to say I looked like a moron crying and laughing and snorting at the bar as I sat alone.....

Wow! From another thread. BB, what are you trying to imply here?

Did Delta test the Pan Am Express pilots? How about Northwest pilots?
Did Tigers vet those small jet flying Fed Ex pilots?
Unity before bigotry. Those Pinnacle pilots are already flying Delta pax.
I think the stats were less than about 4 percent of applicants made it through the process from application (over 12, 500 to the number off probation in the last ten years) if you back out internal hires and transfers. That meant precisely nothing in the mergers Delta has done...

If I remember correctly, that is a Jesse stock photo. Boomer, that's a copyright infringement.
I was being serious about my how do you tell what is struck work questions. I don't know why noone fielded that ball. For example, in the absolutely unlikely event DAL pilots went on strike and DAL rebooked a passenger on USair, is that flying struck work?
No. The USair pilots would not be flying struck work. You actually want this to occur. It puts pressure on your company to negotiate a deal.
I don't know the answers to any of these types of questions. I remember when Comair was on strike, we called the DALPA control center and got the all green for each flight. However, as time has gone on, the question has become cloudier.
While the RLA hamstrings us in many regards, not knowing clearly what is or is not struck work is an issue we have assisted in creating. Without the CREDIBLE threat of a strike - a strike that actually has teeth and stops the company in its tracks - we really have no big gun. IOW, we are at the mercy of the company's negotiators.
So, we have ceded the big gun. Scabs are a thing of the past. Strike threats have no teeth. I could negotiate against us with that backdrop.

So here's the bonus question:
If Delta goes on strike, can AF increase capacity on JFK-CDG and carry DL's pax?
Can AS add flights on SEA-ATL and carry DL pax?
