I was getting fairly excited about a new change in leadership, until I saw this:
“will continue to emphasize both a collaborative relationship with the company, and I will place an emphasis on MEC strategic planning in order to ensure the Delta pilot careers are protected. Preparation is key; execution is paramount.”
I am hoping this is standard boiler plate stuff, and not a "keep the ship heading in the same direction" stuff.

I know. I was hoping he would say that his goal is to create an adversarial type of relationship between the union and the company where we can cross our arms, hold our breath, and hope that we get everything that we want within the next 10 years.

I read Donatelli's bio there, and he actually sounds like someone I could have a decent basis of understanding with, it's a bit scary:
Chairman of the strike prep committee-- so he understands that aspect of the relationship
F-16 w/ Wisconsin Guard
A-10s at Bentwaters, Weapon's school...
79 USAFA grad
now I'm thinking I flew with him maybe back in the day.

In all seriousness, this guy could be the DPA slayer. Impressive to say the least.

There used to be jetway assignments, occasionally. A person would meet you in the jetway and give you the assignment. You had no option, but to take it. It often happened on your last fly day. Now they do the same thing via acars.

This whole extending a REG pilot at the end of his rotation is complete bull. Extending a pilot to pick up extra legs on his last day should pay green slip pay at the very least. This whole REG line pilot being used as a hot reserve is a big ol' pile of malarkey. I get the occasional reroute mid trip or delays outside the company's control, but the extra legs added on is extremely jive turkey.
