Airline Pilot Central Forums - Any "Latest & Greatest" about Delta?

Who will stand up and ask him about Delta's noncompliance with our scope when he shows his head in the crew room? If management would comply with their own agreement, there would be very little need for displacements.

When is our strike vote?

Incorrect. Take a look at the block hour ratio that didn't exist in the previous contract.

3bil, you seem to be posting more since Purple Drank was banned. Keep up the good work.

Dickson's memo, stating "he looks forward to working with ALPA to mitigate displacements", is a little concerning.

The JV only ensures a share of the flying, not what airplanes are used to do the flying. Also, smaller airplanes means more jobs. From a seat standpoint 1 A380 equals how many B767s?

Yeah, but but but.... pilots flying more productive airplanes should be paid more money. That's the way it's always been, and that's the way it should remain. Enjoy the paycuts gentlemen. MD88 needs to calculate how much cost of living these displacements will cost..... It's exactly the system you want, so you shouldn't be surprised at this turn of events.

/forgive the rant, but I told you so.

And are we going to have to give anything up for that?

Why should we fix the company's training logjam?

The company held off hiring until it was too late. Now everyone on the list is feeling it.

If RA wants relief, he needs to compensate everyone. Not just 747 captains with a pension.

I completed the part you left out.

Good Scope.

Naive statement of the day. Our scope has nothing to do with what airplanes they buy in the big scheme of things going forward.

It ain't a Delta airplane until it's sitting on the ramp with a widget on the tail. It ain't a Delta job until there is a bid saying so. You and I aren't gonna live long enough to see 330A, my friend. And Ill betcha the 74 guys won't leave until they turn 65....

At least reserve is better than is used to be.
