For those of you thinking of bidding the A330, keep in mind sailinfun's comments on it. It's scary. It's an Airbus, so you never really know what it might do next. Kinda like a maddog, but more smelly and rude. You know, French.

Also, it goes to africa. Behold, Africa:



But, we go to west africa, so add in malaria carrying mosquitos and ebola to that.

Not asking for his name or señorita number!! Just trying to do a little research, something he can't won't or doesn't know how to do, to determine where he is comjng up with more work less pay.
I gave my specific examples and his inability to "play along" shows his true colors.

Damn. That gave me anxiety just watching the organized chaos. Even crazier were the pedestrian crossings and occasional motorcycle :eek:

With all the upward suction on this bid, it will be interesting to see what sort of backfilling they have to do.

Dalad,

Those numbers you posted a few pages back, do they include or exclude the retirement contribution? Thx

You and Mesabah

Somebody at your airline voted for it.

I tried to tell ya ... .

Now, use the Google Now button on your phone and start asking questions like "What is a Upper Decker." No, it will not change your miserable contract for the better, but at least you will laugh at Google's replies.

Kinda did, actually. 9E didn't have to buy XJ and agree to the ASA for those airplanes that they did. 9E management screwed the pooch and then botched the merger, which surprised absolutely nobody familiar with 9E management. I feel bad for the 9E pilots and even moreso the XJ pilots, who had an excellent and supremely safe operation since 1944 and have been screwed over more times in the last 10 years than I care to count. But the fact remains 9E management put 9E in BK. DL took advantage of it in refusing to renegotiate the ASA (contract is a contract, etc), buying 9E out of BK, and convincing 9E pilots to vote themselves a paycut.

And what was the % that voted yes the most recent 9E TA?

I'll refresh your memory: 85%

And why isn't this in one of the numerous 9E threads?

If you're not at DAL, how is that relevant?

And, if you're at 9E, you're not at DAL.

With some persuasion from 9E-ALPA, assistance from ALPA National, and silence from DALPA about the violation of the admin handbook, as you've pointed out in the past. The impending pilot shortage is the only thing that kept the 9E concessions from having a devastating effect on small narrowbody wages, and our union had a hand in it. Doesn't excuse the 9E pilots from their vote, they could have taken a stand like ExpressJet, Eagle & Republic pilots have done in the last few months. But when they point out that ALPA & DAL had a hand in it, they're not completely wrong.
