Good point.

Changing the subject: What does the company want from us in 117 negotiations?

The status quo is that pay/flight time starts concurrently. However, the reg states that flight time starts when the plane moves under its own power--not the tug's.

Perhaps this is a chance to get "door pay"...with the caveat that our flight time doesn't count for duty purposes until the airplane taxis. Is that "latency" significant enough to merit a contractual change? "Latency...." where have we heard that before? :cool:

Rumor is that they want continuos duty overnights. I vote no.

tsquare,

I have only been here 22 years and have never seen a no vote. Since you called the dude a liar, I think you owe it him to back it up. When was the last no vote?

Maybe. When I read about Delta providing service to mid size and small cities from DCA I have a hard time visualizing it being mainline.

Wait - maybe if we join with management and write congress we can increase the pressure to award slots to DAL. Think of how many more mainline flights we can ....................... On second thought, never-mind.

Scoop :)

Whenever I see an article like this I get excited... to read the comment section. Especially a UK comment section.

Best comments:

• Maybe that's why my wife is always depressed. :D
• Only suckers would believe this story. :D
