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.

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...

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?

This airline was built by the guys who turn the wheels.
The pilots of Northwest and Delta.

We sacrificed in bankruptcy and its time management showed us some respect.

We need to be recognized for what we do. Every day.
Restore this profession to its rightful place.

Thanks
I like the Doubletree, partly for the Hilton points. The CPO will give you a list of local hotels, with prices.

So, you would rather have a quick vs good deal? (I'm thinking FAR 117 "stuff")

I'm thinking that the fact we haven't settled for something we don't want is a good thing.
