Beer report:

Rebel IPA was on sale tonight (the new Sam Adams brew)... not bad! I've got some torpedo left for comparison. I shall report back hopefully before I reach the point of posting pictures of cats.

Both good choices. You can't go wrong

C2012 moved jobs from DCI to mainline, and you just came onto the property this year, didn't you? Maybe there is a connection in there.

And don't be in a rush to solve management's problems. Let them come to us, with their checkbooks out and a box of new pens. We have a negotiated rate for those regional jets, after all. Let them talk uphill for a change; if qualified pilots become a rare commodity, I am sure that DAL will try to corner the market.

Growth at mainline is always good - at least you got that right.

Hey, I'm not looking to reargue C2012, lord knows we did enough of that in 2012. Buuuut, mgmt did get some more of that shiny long-thin-route 70-76-seat flying people were talking about here within the last day, all for the low low cost of retiring a few more gas-guzzling 50-seaters. I thought it was a bad tradeoff that kept DCI viable for longer than it would be with those 50-seaters, but I didn't have a vote, so what I thought didn't really matter for much. Some DAL pilots agreed with me. About twice as many disagreed. Whatever, water under the bridge. Can we just agree that with DCI on life support again, we don't want to resuscitate in C2015?

two things (of many I am sure) that could happen:

a) we are asked to give it another lifeline,

or

b) we are asked to give up something in exchange for a scope recapture that was going to happen anyways.

You left out the third (and more likely) option.

Both a and b above.

And DALPA will tell us it's good for us.http://www.airlinepilotforums.com/im...cons/icon6.gif

i guess we will just wait and see but if the implosion happens prior to C2015 that would help.
