Spoken like a true drone for the "tolerant," "inclusive" left.

 

That's what happens when you make decisions based on fear of the unknown. Your adversary can easily move you at will by offering up the latest scare tactic. The ALPA of Dave Behncke wouldn't have been moved by such transparent scare tactics. The new ALPA is...and it shows.

And it still was. Right up until the time DALPA gave it away without MEMRAT for nothing in return.

It did no such thing because the Japanese government tightly controls who gets a HND slot and what time of the day/night that slot is.

A wrong and unresponsive comment that does nothing but excuse getting steamrolled by fear tactics. No different than our TA being pushed on us with the comment of: "you definitely won't like what Delta's Plan B is if you vote NO." And of course that comment didn't come from management, it came from our union. Not that there's a difference.

In my experience, Atlas does not shrug ... he moves to a more favorable business climate ... hopefully he flies Delta to get there.

 

There will be a Negotiator's Notepad or some other form of communication which gives us something to discuss objectively. Until then, gentlemen.

 

Also with all due respect, and I haven't seen the LOA either, that makes no sense. If I understand Alfa correctly, the codeshare partners carry 15 pax/day. The penalty for being in non-compliance with the current, weak protections, is almost no pain to the company. On the other hand, they can't kill NRT fast, but it's going to be disadvantaged to be sure. NRT is like operating out of ALB to serve New York, and the government just opened up JFK for international traffic, and we don't have JFK slots. It doesn't take much guesswork to imagine the process. Step 1, you downgauge to keep frequencies, Step 2 you build a NRT bypass network to the major cities, minus those that had incremental pax from Japan to make the route viable, Step 3, you start shrinking NRT.

Explain the nature of our leverage. I'm not being a smart-ass. Let's just say we don't work something out. What's the leverage?

OK.

Again, not being a smart-ass, and I don't have the LOA. I haven't heard anything about expanding codeshares. I think they would probably need to do something, to gain more HND access, but I haven't read anything about it.

 

Well said.

Good night.

 

We do not Bar. We don't have that anymore than we now have the 316 slot requirement.

A better question is: Do you get your resume in to Skymark now, or do you wait until your choice is to stay junior at Delta or be junior at Skymark?

Except Delta pilots won't be in on that pie growth. Skymark pilots will.

You folks on the far left will never win hearts and minds conducting yourselves this way. But now that our population officially has more "takers" than "makers", you may not have to win any more hearts and minds.

Carl,

I am a qualified Captain at Skymark

So you do your Dali Lama thing ... I'll be flying over his house ...

 

Help me with this one. Skymark only flies inside Japan and the Section in the contract applies to 5th freedom flights FROM Japan to NOT Japan. If Skymark only flies inside Japan what's the concern as they don't do 5th freedom flying?

As of January 2013, Skymark Airlines operates scheduled flights to the following destinations:
Amami – Amami Airport (seasonal)
Asahikawa – Asahikawa Airport
Fukuoka – Fukuoka Airport Base
Ibaraki – Ibaraki Airport
