IOWs, old guy airline flight suits.:D Can I put in a vote for a wide white belt and white vinyl (lillian vernon) vinyl shoes? The employee parking lot will be full of buicks and mid 90's full size cadillacs. Peachtree City can start a doublewide community with a community center. We can have discussions about liver spots and angina.
I said angina.:eek: Apparently LED turn signals use too much electricity, so their use is conserved ... either that, or Toyota uses the same supplier BMW uses ... |

And what is the potential downside? We say nope. You have to pull down the codeshare and then they say fine, we are gonna cut all the unprofitable flying to/from NRT since we have no contractual obligations anymore.

However, NwaBusDriver just completely nailed it with this post:

Look I am not saying that what is going on here is right. It definitely is not. I just see a bunch of guys that are ready with pitchforks and torches, and there is much to be determined as to the value of this transgression. Like most violations that occurred on the south side prior to the merger, this will more than likely be taken care of before the need for everybody to lawyer up. I'll bow out of this one and watch the show from the sidelines. |

So it's your contention that DALPA has produced only improvements, and given nothing away?
I think we're done here. |

There's much more to this story than we're being told. This latest violation of our scope is very important to the company for some reason.

It wasn't meant to be disrespectul, and I agree that we have all contributed (or unfortunately, also at times regressed) collectively. Many guys forget that our C2K rates were piggy-backed on UAL's C2K rates...which were themselves derived from what they called the "Delta Dot" which was a line drawn from the DAL 737-800 rates up to the 777 rates...and our 737-800 rates ($190/hr back in 1997 or 98) were themselves piggybacked on AA pilots getting $186/hr for it prior to that!

SWA will replace their 3-2-1 Hotel deal with "Early Bird" Dinner specials Starting at 1600. Scoop :) |

That's a fair question. And the answer might be to go even deeper into the violation. As there are no liquidated damages associated with contract violations... an arbitor decides that... what would they have to lose at that point. As someone else pointed out, we are talking about a very small amount of money here.
