This merger will help DAL pilots whether you want to realize it or not.

The merger MOU specifically calls for pay to be on par with UAL and DAL by 2016. Just 2 years away.

Let's take 30 seconds and give them some support in asking the DOJ to get their nose out of business.

Thanks for the link. It literally took 10 seconds to do it. The gov't definitely needs to let our industry off the short leash.

Bid is out. 75 narrow body A's, some B's. NO DISPACEMENTS. No backfilling for ER B's that move out.

Take a look at the 320 ALV- 84. A quick look at the expected line count in NYC 320 shows 57 line holder Capts/ 54 FO - there are only about 60 in each seat. That is after the weird Aug schec where we had 40% on reserve.

I'm sure it's to pick up the 717 slack, but are other cats going to be this maxed out?

What are system reserve coverages like in that category? NY 7erA has been short month after month for at least 2 years, and the company covers the trips with reserves from other bases or greenslips. This is something that MUST be fixed on the next contract. It has been nearly impossible for a lineholder to drop a trip once the month starts due to staffing.

I didn't think airbus pilots "flew" anything. I thought it was merely a vote on what it was going to do. :cool:

But you do have a point that it is more comfortable in the back than Boeing.

Boeing pilot. Airbus driver.
