9E has scope on a lot of those planes through the bridge agreement signed by ALPA National, and DAL management.

Those guys are hero's. Seeing stuff like that really makes a lot of what we complain about in life seem small.

Re: 76+ aircraft

We used to own that flying - we gave it up through strong arm tactics.

We want it back - and eventually we will get it.

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?
Are you a new hire, or have you been here for years? If you are a new hire, why are you lecturing us?
Successful new hires generally try to keep their heads down during probation.

I'm thinking that we need to bring back nose art...

Not saying we should use any capital, but we better find away to eliminate the language that allows outsourcing.

Who knows, maybe someone will invent a "Mr. Fusion" for jet engines. Maybe cheap foreign pilots will become available to fly them. Maybe Sleepy Ed or another high-functioning sociopath will take over for RA and try to re-invent the outsourcing wheel.

Even if the company wants to bring DCI back to mainline, we've got to make sure they can't outsource it in the future. Put the genie back in the bottle!

Which category? I tried a few and no dice. Seems like ours is usually one of the last to get loaded
