Certainly not. Its not how you voted its how you came to your conclusion.

If someone does the research and makes a decision based on that, good deal. If someone just reads the ALPA materials and takes it as gospel, bobble head.

You for instance may have looked at the trading of 50 seaters for 76 seaters as a win. I did not. Either way, at least you looked into it.


**On a side note, I'll ignore the rest of your angry name calling post, someone probably peed in your Cheerios. Also, try eating bran....you seem backed up.

I saw the numbers as an improvement. I saw the blockhour ratios as an improvement. I also saw more in the deal than just those things.

First time ever, I got a Robo Call at 01:27 this am. It said something like, "Delta Crew Scheduling is calling to inverse assign trip number xxx reporting at 01:27, press one if you can accept this trip."

Well, being that I live a 10 hour drive, or 5 hour drive/fly south of ATL, I didn't press one, but I did turn off my ringer and went back to sleep.

I looked up the trip this morning to see who the lucky ducks were, but they never did cover it, I guess not enough guys pressed one! So it was MX CX.

Here's my question, let's say I lived in PTC, and I press one, then I get up and get dressed, pack, jump in my car and get to the airport...only to find they've cancelled the trip due to lack of interest.

What would I be paid for that? Just 2 hours suit up? Or the full value of the original trip (29:20, a DXB trip) ? Or nothing at all, since they eventually showed it as MX CX?

And should I always press one, then go back to sleep?

That was a landing accident? I thought they hit a kitten while taxiing

... or cell towers. If I were a terrorist, I would blow up cell towers instead of airplanes. The resulting chaos would be amusing to say the least.

Why don't you channel your inner terrorist and do something a little more productive and good for our society... like blow up the set of The View?

Only people who enjoy listening to Joy and Whoopi talk out of their arses.
