With the new contract it only puts you at the top of the group your in and bucket. Example. Your good for 4 days and your in bucket 2. It only puts you on top for a 4 day in bucket 2. If there are guys on bucket 1 that's good for a 4 day they will get the trip even we you requested it and they did not. Needs to be fixed. You want the trip and can't get it.

So with all the latest airline merger resistance from the DOJ, does anyone think our chances of acquiring/merging with anyone have now decreased?
I don't think our current management team would take on such a (dare I say) endeavor if it didn't think it could get through all the regulatory hurdles. I'm sure it all comes down to money and greasing the right wheels in Washington, but how much time, energy, and money are we willing to spend on it.
That being said, I think AA/US will eventually get approved after divesting and negotiating something out.

I agree that AA and USAir will go through once they have bowed to the powers that be.
As far as Ak or Hi, look at the route overlap to foresee any big issues.
Btw, does anyone have a clear picture on what the sticking point is on the VA Dal production balance issue. I want to email my reps, but don't entirely understand that one. Is this just a case of management playing scope hardball?

It comes down to route overlap and market control. We did our divesting mostly premerger. RA lined up his ducks.

I believe negotiators were supposed to have met with management sometime over the summer. Temporarily approval for noncompliance is until September, so I'm curious if the temporary approval period will just expire without any type of contractual improvements for the pilot group. I don't really see any incentive to play ball with our negotiators at this point if all the company really needed was to get through the summer.
I'm less concerned with any type of contractual gain as I am concerned with our union's inability to enforce certain provisions of our section 1. Temporary approval expires September 30 th, so time will tell I guess.

On that point, has anyone heard anything regarding our negotiator's progress with the company over the Pacific Narita/Haneda non-compliance issue?

Management needs contract scope relief. DALPA is "constructively engaged".
You know those rumors about new aircraft orders?
I'll bet I know when the scope concessions will be announced.
Standby for yet another "Negotiator's Notepad" describing our latest win-win.

Frankly, it's sad to read a pilot writing something like that. Let me suggest an three hour option that will allow you to arrive in style and relaxed...
Figure your making at least a buck and a quarter from Delta. Don't know if they are paying you for mileage, but 26 hours of windshield time between Delta trips must just suck for you and your family.
Speaking of family, trips to the beach are "currency." Besides, you need the tax write off.
Mine's an A36 now, but the F33 or 33-35 is a better machine unless you need the extra capability. I had a 33-35 with a fresh IO-550 by D'Shannon and all the go fast goodies that I sold when Delta hired me ... wish very badly I still had it. Best flying airplane ever built IMHO (and that includes the 757, heresey I know)

So I just went to my favorite porn site... Controller.com... and found this beauty:
1985 BEECHCRAFT F33A BONANZA Piston Single Aircraft For Sale At Controller.com
it's got TKS for those just in case moments Rocky goes into icing conditions.
Since you actually lived this stuff Bar let's figure up his expenses and deductions for a 750 mile trip done once a month? Or is it twice Rocky?
$@!#_@%!@$. I'm being summoned.
