Airline Pilot Central Forums - Any "Latest & Greatest" about Delta?

Geezuz. That's my point exactly.

Why say something in 20 words when 2000 will suffice?

My man, I gotta ask...when is the last time you were right about anything on this board? :rolleyes:

Cheerleading is not a strategy. :D

Just today. I stated that if the company and DPA exchange openers as early as allowed, then DPA dues will be raised to 2.25% 270 days prior to Sec 6.

So that's your reply? That's a strong point.

Exactly. So tell me why DPA is better. Back it up with facts. Here are my facts about DPA. Straight from the constitution.

-2.25% dues automatically implemented during Sec 6, early openers, bankruptcy, & mergers.

-Higher Flight Pay Loss then ALPA

Then these facts to follow:

-A law firm that was FIRED by USAPA.

-A $1 million line of credit that Delta pilots will HAVE to pay back, and no one has told us the interest rates.

-No ability to lobby for itself, and requiring CAPA to do so on their behalf.

That's a good start.

Question for the moderator(s):

Some time ago (a year?) it was decided to start a DALPA vs DPA thread and posts on that subject were encouraged to be posted there. Any which showed up on the "Latest & Greatest" thread were manually moved there by the moderators.

So why are you now tolerating the DALPA vs DPA debate on the "Latest & Greatest" thread ad nauseum?

You're on here like 8 days a week it's not like you don't have time to read. I guess the DPA Reader's Digest no-more-than 200 page contract is for your demographic.

forgot to bid

Again, WhoGAS about that except that until we have a rational pay system that ignores the kind of airplanes that management buys (which are smaller than any super premium airplanes) then we as a group will continue to be paid less and less over the course of our careers. MY point is that the number of passenger seats is something we have ZERO control over so why worry about it?

you're talking pay. I'm trying to derermine if things are really growth.

I'm glad I'm over here. :)

No kidding. Over there, they can't reserve the jumpseat. They just have to show up and hope they are the most senior 15 minutes prior to departure. They should do it like us, but they feel our way violates seniority even though our way is more convenient, less stressful, and easier to plan around. As a commuter, I am grateful for our jumpseat policy.
