now that all the reserves can be used up to ALV+15, why would they need to backfill anything?

Just curious. When we linked up with AF/KLM they flew a large number of flights across the pond as did Delta. By your 51 percent comment I assume you feel that AF/KLM should have stopped all international flights to the US and Delta assumed those flights. Do you feel that is achievable by Delta management or DALPA or both working together?

...for ATL320B they had posted 15 openings, 10 people bid off, and 10 were backfilled. Net gain of 0 positions. Does this mean that the 15 positions are now available as new hire positions?

what a surprise nrt is becoming more useless everyday and mem is gone oh and thanks for the all those amazing and long lasting 747 freighter and dc9 jobs that nwa brought thats been very helpful for delta pilots. total bull **** that we are parking 4 744s this year but not displacing until 2015 guess we are kissing whale butts now so all you senior premerger delta pilots can enjoy watching your chance at an ae to the 777 or stay senior on it go bye-bye as 744 pilots can displace into them in 2015 instead of having to bid for spots from so it looks like yet again alpo is failing the premerger delta pilots but whoever is in charge up there now is good at protected nwa pilot jobs tho
what in this merger has been good for a midseniority dal pilot nothing what has alpo done to protect my career and progression in all this beside cave and kiss managements ass nothing at least i can be a nb captain in dtw or msp someday |

Like some say, my career can't keep taking all of these "victories".
Great narrow body Captain AE... wide body... not so much. :( Delta Air Lines.... my narrow body airline of choice! I'm sure we'll get 'em next time... :rolleyes: |

Separate standards for different divisions within Delta would undermine ALPA's work in safety and quality of life, because if a lower standard was safe at one division, it would be acceptable at mainline eventually. Today, Delta's contract is a lot more like ASA's 1999 contract than it is Delta's contract from the same period. The lower standard has been accepted, just as I wrote that it would. Management is always looking to reduce costs and increase efficiency. The easiest way to reduce costs is to replace Delta pilots. Maybe some people are finally beginning to understand what I've been working on for the better part of 15 years now. It is not about recapturing RJ's. This is about controlling the market for labor, top and bottom line. We, as an association, should work to control the Company's entire productive capacity within one MEC. As you know, our MEC has been excluding players for a long time. We kicked Compass to the curb. We excluded Comair and ASA. Hell, for a minute the NWA MEC even feared we were going to do the same to them. But, we did the right thing with NWA and we all benefitted from unity. Our MEC's scope experts have been more inclusive of large aircraft flying, but we still build walls to separate pilots rather than build walls which keep us together. Delta is a large conglomerate and we are an ever shrinking percentage of what is relevant to Delta's productive capacity. Moving forward we have to build inclusive scope. We have to draw the circles so that they include, rather than exclude, or permit. |

From a seat standpoint 1 A380 equals how many B767s? |
