Here's a new rumor: Any new heavy order will come with all new flight attendants:

If that involves Delta pilots, ALPA knocked it out of the park.

I do think our next heavy order will be coordinated with Virgin. It seems an economic certainty.

But Newk, welcome to the SEC now that we have you here. First things first, the 2015 National Champions is the University of Georgia. No doubt about it. Book it.

This is the case every July and August. Things change in early September. By October deer are dying in mass on Saturdays.



I tease. This year UGA has been a little quiet.

Apparently, dogs and cats living together isn't as big as a problem as people made it out to be. . :D

Why do you think Air Canada bought Embraer E-jet over more CRJs?

George,

That's true, but the example will confuse your readers.

North America and Europe are both excluded for the kind of deals your readers are thinking about. Just because Canada made the choice not to play is distinct from the legal environment that effects our wide body purchase decisions.

BTW, excellent posts with regards to the Delta pilots knocking of the petty squabbles over things which can not be changed.

It will be interesting to see how it plays out with the cure period ending about a week before the exchange of openers for C2015.

The Jumbo RJ's would be amazing to fly under the mainline contract. In fact, RJ captain would go quite senior if it were on your list. The planes are very easy to fly, it's also nice, to fly to a destination where the airport isn't big enough to have jet bridges. For those that flew the old RJ's, like the 200, those planes are no where near the quality that the new 700/900's are.

On dog whisperer's JUMPSEAT. That is all.

Folks, what I am advocating here is:
  • Support ALPA, your Reps and Volunteers who work for you
  • Support ALPA PAC
  • Think carefully about your survey responses
  • Consider that scope nets you more actual pay through advancement than having $1 above whatever arbitrary metric, or contract comparison from a decade and a half ago you might have in mind.
  • Just think; remember that Delta is a holding company of alter ego stacked on alter ego and the easy play is simply to move flying around to the flavor of the day while allocating costs to the "bad boys."
  • Hold ALPA accountable for results. Learn about the Candidates. Know how your Reps vote. We, as members of the association fail the association when we let things like Endeavor's negotiations go unchallenged. We need to keep a very close watch on this transatlantic JV.
