I'm following the contract, not the memo. Have been on the phone with the ALPA scheduling genious a lot, had CPO threats and they even dug out my families phone number from my emergency contact section and they called that too. Real classy.
You have go to stand up for yourself and other union members when you know you are right. Tip.....know you are right, and you will be fine. Keep the union in the loop. Nothing is going to change as long as we capitulate to unilateral contract changes.

Imagine the additional leverage our negotiators would have if we all stepped up to the plate like Flamer has.

Purple,
I'm not able to afford as many PD's as Delta is willing and able to hand out for acknowledging a trip while on long call inside 10 hours but outside of 3. Without trying, I picked up two in a month. It is enough to make you bid crappy trips and never see home Thursday-Sunday.

You are probably right...... But on an even bigger picture if there was no GS, ability to pick up 15 over ALV, ability to fly extra in vacation months, swap with pot to go even higher than ALV + 15, how many additional positions do you think we would need?
Personally I would like to see a cap on pay of 80 hours per month with anything above 80 going into the bank but even then the max monthly would be 85. Over 85 hours and something would have to be dropped.

Me neither. Of course you can avoid sit length in PBS and PCS. But
a long sit usually means a long duty day, pushing FAR117 limits. I,ve seen lots of 12:30+ scheduled days with a 13 hour max. Saw a 12:53 scheduled four leg domestic... very common. Pilots routinely accepting extended duty days only encourages this scheduling practice.

And from that Aviation Week article: " In terms of hours and cycles remaining in the design life, Delta could theoretically operate the MD-90s for another 50 years, based on the current dispatch profile."
OH BOY!
