Sorry FiiG I just couldn't resist...:) At my seniority in category I'm really surprised I'm getting them. Heck, I'm just trying to strike while the iron is hot!

Man, you are gonna get in here some time within the next 6 months. My opinion................................and you know what opinions are like!

Hey, it's about time to meet for lunch isn't it? I'm buyin'.:)

Well, last month I had a 72 hour reserve guarantee and I'm getting paid for 167 hours.......:D Oh, and I added 8 payback days to the bank. I now have 16. Even though I'm reeeaallly junior in category, I would have been able to hold a regular line the last few months. My current plan is to bid a regular line in July or August and then drop all the trips. Pre-month our coverage always looks good. Then I'll either take a summer month off or greenslip on a regular line...

Couldn't resist doing the math on that. Wow. I could use a few 42K months.

MEC? Hello? Is there anybody home?

It is time to turn up the heat. It is time to show some resolve.

The Delta pilots are a money machine. We are generating incredible numbers for this company.
We need to be compensated fairly.

That would require leadership, effort, and resolve.

Yeah, I was kinda surprised at that too! Worked 21 days for it. Except for a 6 day (3 deadhead and 1 live leg) that was the perfect fit for days and block hours of availability, it would have been a perfect month. Still, my best month ever...

I have not given up on Donatelli just yet.
He's been very conservative so far but he might have it in him to say enough is enough.

The Delta pilots have facilitated billions of dollars in corporate profit through our cooperation and collaboration with everything management wished to accomplish over the last few years. Its time for a bit of return on our investment. It's past time. Fair is fair. 4.8.3.3 is not going to cut it.

I, too, have been more or less willing to give him a honeymoon. But it's going to be tough to continue.

Some feel good letters, some lounge visits, some demands for unity, and...no results whatsoever. Wasn't an agreement forthcoming this time last month?

He's getting some breathing room right now because of some AE movement, and folks are understandably excited about that. But the fact is, he has accomplished nothing.

Obviously, my tolerance for dithering is below average. I am curious about where more moderate guys stand on a timeline for either some results, or some non-constructively-engaged decisive action. At what point is he effectively ineffective?
