Too late. Once again, DALPA is behind the power curve and will have to scramble to catch up.

Assuming, of course, that DALPA does not share the company's view on those matters you mentioned.

But let's be realistic. I bet 45%+ of Delta pilots are automatic "yes" voters, no matter how bad the deal. My hypothesis is that the company only has to convince a very small number of independents to accept any given agreement. I bet the company's union-buster figures the same thing.

And you are probably an automatic "no" voter?

 

Another thing guys were discussing and had multiple opinions on last week:
If you use your APD to drop a trip, can you fly-- WS/GS/Swap-- on any of those days?

--YES, but you can't do ANY flying on days that have "APD" on your schedule. However, you don't have to "APD" every day of a rotation to drop it!

I just tested this, and it's true. Say you have a 5 day trip on 1st thru 5th, and you use APD to drop days 3/4/5 of the trip. The entire trip is dropped, and "APD" shows up on your schedule on days 3/4/5. You CAN Ws a trip and pick up something that flies into days 1/2. Even though you did APD drop the trip, you only asked for APD on SOME of it's days.

Wise tactical use of your yearly APD depends on whether you absolutely dont want to fly (reserve duty say and you want to ensure off), or if you just don't want to fly THAT trip and you can't drop it due to coverage.

 

While nobody can prove MH370 was swallowed up by a black hole, nobody can prove that MH370 wasn't swallowed up by one either.

Something to think about....

 

I'll give you that it's a non-zero probability at this point.

 

For the millionth time, years of service, ie DOH at your previous airline, is MEANINGLESS. Relative %, status and category is it. Lots of people were affected by the SLI and subsequent merger efficiencies. Bet lots of fNWA also moved up after the merger. Don't know who started it......but let it go please.

 

So you agree with my estimate that 45%+ of the pilot group has armed the autoyes mode?

 

Do you agree with MY estimate that 45% of the pilot group has armed the autono mode?
