The last AE did not have any displacements, only vacancies on the 717.

However, the AE prior had 100 ER B displacements system wide and the 737 B in SLC seemed to take a huge hit with 20% of the pilots in the category being MD'ed, as the ER B's moved around.

Crew resources continues to say that they are still fat on ER B's and that this next AE will have more displacements. So, I was just throwing my best guess at what will happen.

I'm pretty much a glass is empty guy when it comes to delta. So take that for what is worth.

I Just looked at the Sept crew resources news letter and they state that "At this time, we are projecting a surplus of 50-60 7ER F/Os"

So I will adjust my original guess to 50-60 displacements from 100.

Maybe if you took the time to actually read what he wrote you wouldn't be so critical. You poo poo guys like Johnso who try to bring you the facts and refuse to see how good we have it.

I agree with Columbia. Bob Wiley and hitimefurlogh appear to be alter-egos of our favorite ALPA waterboys.

They seem to have different usernames for each issue.

Absolutely correct. Always drink at least three full beers before breaking the seal. Now that is capacity discipline.

Scoop :)

He's wayyyyy too long winded, but does have some good points. Thankfully leaves the condescending tone behind unlike some prior alpa types on here.

I ask a legitimate question about the DPA constitution using facts that I'm told aren't real in spite of annotating them and only after Carl asked me and you move on to the standard APC modus operandi of trying to discredit the poster because he's an ALPA member or worse an actual ALPA volunteer. The only way to survive such an attack is for the poster to tell everyone who he is defeating the point of attempting to be anonymous. We are all ALPA members except those press guys and the SWA guys and the others that come on here time to time but most of us are ALPA guys. I've got a DPA member number and login which means that I sent a card in. So why don't you go ask how many current ALPA volunteers have cards in? I'm willing to guess it's a pretty small number. I'm in London right now posting on my own time. You want more? Why don't you try and answer the questions I asked that Carl says aren't true?

You don't want to take a whack at the DPA constitution questions I posted? Everyone on here will gladly tear apart the ALPA constitution and policies but not even blink at the fact there's something rotten in Tampa? I find that pretty f'in strange. Then you come on here and attempt to label me as being an ALPA guy because that will mean everything I say isn't legitimate because I dared ask questions that needed asked? You have zero interest in the fact there are problems with the DPA constitution? Is there a bully version of the troll for discrediting guys that ask real questions about real things? I don't know.

Go back and try at least one bullet point.

There's no word limit is there and again with the labels. My last answer wouldn't have been so long except for the fact that Carl said none of my facts were facts. Howsabout I use smaller font :eek:

Ha ha ha, that's why I asked if he is on FPL. Usually guys with unfamiliar names and 60 or so posts that put out bullet by bullet talking points here seem to have been rounded up at crucial times to push the ALPA agenda. During the merger, during the last contract negotiations (63% - it worked!), and now....

Hmm...

In fear of a vote over representation?
