Not without a higher ALV, more pilots, less flying, or some combination thereof.

First off what connection carrier is DS?
and number two, how does a connection carrier get to use S2's???

Nevermind, I think I answered my own question. Apparently connection can use S2 for company business, but I'm not sure what company business requires and entire family to fly from the West coast to ATL and use an S2....at the end of spring break.

DS = DGS. Perhaps an instructor? I doubt a bag-thrower receives S2 passes.

DS is more palatable. That I could see. Thanks.

Since many originated from DCI Carriers, they have a better DOH than Pilots who hired in from the same carriers. As far as I know, pilots are the only employees that lose longevity coming from Delta's subsidiaries (and even some partners).

Bag throwers are treated much MUCH better than Pilots in this regard.

I got a good one (canned response) as well from John Kline. I'd still rather get a supportive response vs a "I'm with the sand fleas" response.

Unsurprising.

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.
Doubtful that 117 relief would've prevented the dramatic increase in GS periods. Heard just a few days ago that there have only been around 50 instances (since January 1!) system wide of PDs "given" to pilots for not following the SD memo. I wouldn't consider that leverage.

If we are truly getting close to an agreement it's because there's not much in it for us. History bears this out.
