Is this the same guy who voted against the Narita agreement and then in public touted it as a outstanding achievement under KR's leadership? That left several people somewhat befuddled!

Delta Dash is positive space so it pretty much goes on the next flight. You have to drop off your shipment a few hours before whatever flight you want it on at the Delta Cargo facility. You also must book your shipment ahead of time but you can do this via phone call. They have a space available option but it was only a few dollars quicker.

Can't help you with the commute, but I have to think that 5:15 per day means that an 83-hour line will be no more than 15 days come November (unless you wind up with trips that get back 0000-0200).

As I understand it, the cure period is a 3-year period that covers that last two years of the prior measurement period, plus a new year (Year 4). The idea that that we have to do so much flying in the Year 4 that it makes up for any shortfall in the prior two years, such that the 3-year cure period (Years 2-4) is in compliance.

Assuming that to be the case, everything returns to "normal," and the Company is free to fall far enough down in Year 5 that the 3-year period ending in Year 5 is below the required minimum. They must then make up that shortfall in Year 6, and so on.

No. the TLV applies only to Delta flying and is measured by position (e.g., 7ER A).

I don't know enough about the way Delta's arrangement within the JV works, but I have to imagine that they cannot simply require AF or KLM to stop flying certain routes and let Delta pick them up instead.

Everything else is on their own time. Waxing poetic in updates, phone calls, emails, etc, which is pretty much what %90 of a reps work is. Taking care of the pilots in the council is primary focus.

This would be the Hotline for the ATL council. I figured as much, but was curious because I thought I read a while back that someone who worked in "communications" or a similar role was getting paid to work from home. It had me wondering if the Hotline was part of that kind of work and if so would sending it out on a Sunday be a way of getting paid by DALPA for shooting the email.

0000-0200 is rare for my category. Looking forward to Nov.
