Seems to only work on the -88 and -9. On other aircraft the APU tends to work, so you aren't "locked" in the seat after a 45 minute flight to CHS.

I had a similar experience with an ALPA rep I flew with several years ago. I was new to the company and was just trying to catch up with all that was going on around me. But I do remember being struck (not in a good way) with his idea of increasing profit sharing and not pushing for pay increases as a form of compensation. But I don't hold DALPA accountable for this individual's philosophy, nor believe it was a flip flop of the organization since it was not advocated by the group as a whole.
I'm referring to the pilots I was sitting with during the roadshow presentation on the contract in 2009. There was a collective groan when the profit sharing slides went up and the terms were explained.

During the Q+A session the comments about profit sharing were most definitely dominated by pilots who assured us of two facts - the company would manipulate the "profit" to ensure we would never get a penny of it, and that previous payouts had been a fluke and small.

I like the idea of profit sharing. I like working for a profitable company. I think it makes it easier to get improvements to our contract, even outside of section six. Things like the SOT improvements, especially releasing F/O's when OE is conducting with no recovery obligation are significant.

I don't get the impression that the Donut Dealers think mid-contract improvements are something we should worry about. They push for an "isolationist" structure that ignores the status of the company, the other employees, and the industry around us. I've seen and heard that rhetoric before - from AMFA. Same law firm and same tired message: You deserve more, and if you get tougher you'll get it! That big mean national union doesn't care about you!

Neither the APU or the air hose work on the 90.
