btw the seat count is slightly off because with the 757, 763ER have multiple configurations for the same model and I just used 174 and 208 instead.

FTB, does that assume no airplanes are parked?

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.

These guys can't deal with logic and reason. We have the tools available that we need to fix almost any problem but they are too lazy to get involved. Instead let's start an alter ego organization that caters to the whiners.

Nope, I kept them all. Sometimes we're told that not even the 739s are replacement so I kept everything.

That said, if anyone knows for sure what's slated to be parked I'll amend the 2017 column.

Hey, I'm just saying.... you've got a lot of words coming out of those fingers. I kinda glaze over after a bit and move along usually. I'm all about making the point and moving on. :)

You obviously are some sort of ALPA or passionate ALPA supporter. No biggie. I appreciate the lack of condescending tone that you've utilized unlike those that posted frequently in previous years.

A number of those 757-200s, 767-300s, all the DC-9s, and some 320s are goners. That's throwing your numbers wayyy off.

You can't kill the DC9.

I'll amend it if anyone has the numbers. The thing is even if I remove the 9s and 100 757s, it's still 146 jets in growth. That'd be 2,000 pilots more than we have now before retirements not including NBC guys. Retirements adds another 800.

Also FTB you have 40 A321s, isn't it 30?

You know of any other airline called Delta Air Lines? The seniority list may show 10,144 pilots on July 01, 2001, but in January 2001, I was given a seniority number of 11,2??. Why is there a difference of about 1,000 numbers between January and July? I don't have a clue. Frankly, I was just trying to get through my first year.
