I want to salute all you regular line holders in NYC ERB for green and white slipping this weekend so I can enjoy the beautiful 80 degree weather on the beach in Cali with friends and family!! High Five!! Wonder why we need reserves at all.

The four mens toilets in T4 at JFK for were all clogged and overflowing Friday. Turds were on the floor. I returned to the parking lot, threw my shoes away and drove home. I am disappointed in our JFK fix. The design is very poorly thought out. T3 was better.

They should close the employee restrooms. Let the folks who work there endure the same humiliation as the customers who we count on for our survival as a Company.

We are not going to win New York if we can't design for and monitor the basics of handling people. Complete and total fail.

But just in time for C2015, the Delta/ALPA coalition will tell us we absolutely MUST give up 100 seat scope to get them.
Purple Stank! Just fire away and move your mouth, cast blame and b**ch! Still you sit and type and do nothing! You have a sad life I am certain....

I dont know, but I remember being told don't be concerned about the 2014 and 2015 pay, we'll never get there... wink wink.

I guess they thought for some reason we'd be in negotiations on a fleeting opportunity this year. Actually, I guess we still have a half a year left to see if that comes true.

But before we do any contract negotiations we have to do our surveys. I'm looking forward to that.

But Fig, what's he supposed to do, P2P? I'm not really certain he's what they want in that kind of a roll. There have been people to try out the P2P stuff and they didn't "mesh" in training. I'm sure the last thing DALPA wants is a Purple calling pilots up.

Frankly, i'm not sure where he could volunteer and what that would accomplish since most of the time you solicit volunteers to help you achieve your goals and he's opposed to those goals.

Is there a Pinnacle pilot who can tell us? The Pinnacle MEC has been more engaged in negotiations with Delta management than ours.

Our contract 2015 is quite the subject among their insiders. Now that they enjoy a seat at the table, they would like a nice cut of Prime Rib when it gets passed around.

So what you're saying Bar is we should be up next for negotiations with Delta since Delta has finished negotiations over Delta flying with the Pinnacle MEC?
