They just wanted some type of seniority/longevity transfer, or a preferntial hiring program with Delta. Rumor is the Endeavor MGT asked their pilot union about it. Any of you guys have any info on that? Also heard that Donatelli told the Eagle guys that your contract requires 35% of each class to come from ALPA carriers. Is that true also?

It would be a great way to wipe out 60% of AA feed overnight if they really are working on it.

Hey Mason. Always look forward to your posts regarding Eagle with similiar interests. I haven't heard anything regarding Endeavor but here's what our contract says about the 35%.

The Company will fill a minimum of 35% of the aggregate of all positions in Delta pilot new-hire classes in each trailing twelve-month period (to the extent airmen are available) with ALPA-represented airmen at Delta Connection Carriers, subject to such airmen meeting the Company’s competitive hiring standards, and subject to the Company’s objectives for diversity and experience among newly hired pilots. Airmen who flow up pursuant to LOA #9 and LOA #10 count toward satisfaction of such minimum 25 percentage

The Company will offer preferential interviews for employment to airmen employed by carriers (whose airmen were represented by the Association) at the time those carriers ceased operations, subject to the Company’s objectives for diversity and experience among newly hired pilots and subject to Section 1 D. 11.

Oh...and what about those 117 negotiations?

According to Donatelli at the NYC LEC meeting, they are very close to wrapping up the 117 negotiations. From what I've heard from talking to some reps is that it's kinda hard to negotiate with the company when the comapany doesn't want to negotiate.

One thing that was said in the meeting was that (I think I got the numbers right,) the historical number of GSs in Jan-Mar was 500, but for Jan-Mar 2014, we were up to 5500. That finally got the company's attention and motivated them to start talking.

This thread is very serious. I'm gonna lighten it up a bit:

That's a great letter from Jeff Miller's office. I'd vote for that dude. I always jump on the Calls to Action but I've never gotten a response that looked anything like that one.

Well, don't be too impressed. It looks like the exact same letter I got from Maria Cantwell.....

Yeah, I was suprised when I heard that number, that's why I don't believe I heard it 100% right. Maybe someone else who was there can corroborate. He did say that the company was dragging their feet until the GS starting flowing and they were not happy. The union's position became, "Well, we can fix it now, and it will cost you. Or, we can wait til section 6 to fix it and you can continue to pay out GS."
