There will be plenty of slots on the 747 over the next 3 years. Lots of retirements. With the way marketing moves the flying around I doubt the 747 will ever see a base change. DTW will be it until they are retired. I know a former NW Captain who wants a whale bid and is ticked that none of the Captains are going early. He hoped they would leave before the fence came down and take one for the team. 747 bids should get more numerous next spring.

My son and his family (4) went to the east coast on real Delta tickets, the children caught strep and they were not able to return home on their original date, initially they were told that it was going to cost $200 per person for a change fee plus the difference in the tickets....well over $1000! He travels alot on Delta and attempted one more time to see if they could work something out, when the situation was explained...Delta asked for the hospital, Dr and a phone number; after which the only charge was the difference...approx $60.00 per person. Kudos to the company, very impressive!

I'm not saying the content and subesquent use of negotiators notes is not used in official proceedings. Those that pay attention know that neg. notes are used in those situations. I am saying that you will not find "negotiators notes" as a line pilot accessible document that "officially" govern our working conditions like a CBA, LOA, MOU, and arbitration ruling formally govern working conditions.
I apologize for a level specificity that does not meet your standards.

Seriously, blame me. Leonardo DiCaprio and I travel around drugging people and inserting thoughts in their heads through dreams. They made a movie about us called Inception and I was there in that final scene which was filmed in MSP. Carl can tell you, it is every bit true. I planned this as a false flag attack on the soverign nation of Canada and fell short. I am completely and individually responsible for everything from the EFB delay to weeds growing in your front yard. If your cat is pregnant, well she looked like a 737 from the rear. Hell, I am the reason Bunny Lebowski only has 9 toes!
That having been stated, how can it possibly matter where the SDP concept came from? My understanding is that ALL of our reps provided direction to our NC. My understanding is when concerns arose that ALL reps redirected and our NC got an agreement under which Delta pilots got substantial gains.
Someone asked "where did this come from" and the resolution existed. Several on our MEC (outside of 20) thought SDPs were a good idea (and I am not against them). When the Council 20 resolution was posted some were offended ... and I still have no idea why anyone would find that offensive. None.
I found it odd that when the proper response was "great job" APC was wanting to recall other Council's reps ... I can not figure it out.

You heard anything on a delay for the 330IGW Sailing is talking about? New airplanes should really help the trip mix, and a delay would be a bummer.
