This brings up numerous questions: If the contractual number is not fair - why did we and/or our partners, and the company agree to them? If the contractual numbers do not represent our fair share of the flying then what is our fair share? Why don't they just say the company is not meeting its obligations and we expect them to correct it? OBTW - Who had the great idea of a 3 year measurement window anyway? Scoop :confused: Now I take exception to that. I say the contract defines what our "fair share" is and we are not going to be in compliance with it in on March 31, 2014. At least it doesn't look like the Company will be..... This begs the question: What will it take for the Company to be in compliance in 2014? On page one of the Update they say "......compliance is not a snapshot but a rolling three year period." That's going to be a lot of flying to make up..... I'm going to the PUB event in Seattle in about an hour and will ask these questions.... Denny |

suit = space suit. My three year old asked rather loudly, "why does she want coffee?" |

This BS e-mail just made the decision quite easy. DPA card going in as soon as I get home. Scoop - Flying my "fair share" of DAL flights. :cool: |

Its not hard to see what's about to happen.
DALPA is now "constructively engaged" in both the Atlantic and the Pacific. We all know what that means. |

Well Scoop, our block hour ratios between us and DCI will be measured for the first time in January 2014. If unbalanced in DCI's favor, management has until July 2014 to show DALPA the plan to correct the imbalance. What if DALPA simply says: "those ratios didn't represent our fair share"?
Carl Carl, I agree. How about the next time crew scheduling calls a pilot with an inverse assignment: "This is Delta Crew scheduling - we have an inverse assignment trip for you." "Well I know what my "contractual obligation" is, but I think I have already flown more than my "fair-share" of line flights for the month so call someone else." How do you think that will turn out?

Yup, misread the month.
So board of directors meeting has come and gone I guess. It's the BOD who approves aircraft purchases, not the stockholders. |
