For those that commute between SFO - LAX you have a few more flights. Unfortunately, they are all on Compass. Good luck, got scope?

DELTA Expands Los Angeles ? San Francisco Bay Area Operation from Sep 2013 | Airline Route ? Worldwide Airline Route Updates

Just so people in Oakland don't feel left out you also get a increase in flights. However, as the red headed step-child your flights will be on CR7 and CR9's

5 leg days? Going months without crossing the Mississippi to the west? Every trip going to MDW and EWR? 32 hours in fine locales such as FNT, BMI, and CRW? Then the ATL 320 is for you!
I was pleasantly surprised to see you airbus guys in CAE this month. More jumpseats!

If he's going to do that, at least post some boobs or cats to make it funny.

What can I say. I've been somewhat jaded to this board lately. Maybe I'll mellow out. Or maybe I'll start yelling for some of you youngsters to get off my forum.

One nice thing I didn't quite understand we got in the last contract is nice. So now if you get a green slip, one leg out and dh the next day back, instead of 7:15(14:30) you get 9(18).....sweet!

Looks like the Delta Pilots were successful in negotiating a 14.5% higher payrate ($20-$50/hr more) for the future "767 sized" aircraft.

Sorry T, I used to be a proponent of LBP but I like the option of more money OR more QOL that the current system provides. LBP would take "more money" off the table and make more QOL the only factor. The current system allows for more choice.
But shouldn't seniority have both QOL and pay? I'm sure more than a few senior bubbas whose health isn't helped by transiting multiple time zones a few times a month would love to be "able" to fly the 717 and do more regional domestic sort of flying without having to give up massive amounts of $$$$$. This in turn would allow more junior folks (read: less than 14 years seniority) to be able to hold international lines which are decent.
Besides, if the current system allows for more "choice" as you put it, then why are 99% of the top 600 or so flying internationally? I would bet if lgbp were the rule, 30-50% of them would be on domestic narrow bodies. The truth is, they don't have a choice.

Actually, they do have a choice. A couple AEs ago, a DTW777A bid to ATLm88A - he was to be very senior. Initially, I thought he forgot to log off DALnet. The reality is he can now do day turns for fewer days worked and get GS's whenever he wants them.

My point being, seniority gives a person the ability to choose. A real-world example just backs that up.
