Airline Pilot Central Forums - Any "Latest & Greatest" about Delta?

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?

Don't know, but I'm looking forward to the next series of warnings that state: "negotiations are right around the corner" and "we can't change horses in mid stream" as the DPA vote nears.

What was the fleeting opportunity that made the last TA so "time sensitive" for us to vote in? The Pinnacle purchase? The Virgin Atlantic stake? The Pinnacle bridge agreement?

He's just saying that negotiations can really begin anytime because the hardest part (scope) is negotiated for us by others.

After the last contract I promised myself not to get into it again, but here goes:

I wonder what our opener is going to be?

(And FTB, I willing to skip the survey's this time. Like what's the point? :D)

We are in contract negotiations right now, look at the NRT slots/scope talks going on as we speak.

Remember, everything is negotiable, so....what are you willing to give up for that?

The contract amendable date is December 31, 2015. The union can submit written notice to the company 270 days prior to that. (Section 28)

What am I willing to give up to begin negotiations? Hmmm.

The funny thing about the "what are you willing to give up" meme, how is that not the definition of cost neutral?
