Repost from the C2015 thread. Participate today, later this week and throughout the fall. The time to get ready is now.

If we want an industry leading contract we must have industry leading UNITY.

Our Sept. trips are already showing up in iCrew Open Time, you can take a look at them there.

I logged into PBS earlier today and of course it says, "Sept. Bidding Closed" because it doesn't open until...1800 tonight(?).

I was looking to see if they'd put me into recurrent in Sept. and trying to update my "Default Bids" as per the PBS Upgrade email.

So if we don't get an industry leading contract, you'll say it's because we didn't have industry leading unity?

We have about 450 whale pilots. If 115 are displaced next year they will head to 777, 330, 765 seats (744B's might head for narrowbody A's.)

Vis-a-vis the 10 330 deliveries, you can look at this as "330 vacancies being diluted by 744 displacements," or "744 displacements being tempered by 330 deliveries." Depends on your glass.

An early-out would be a win for everyone.

Word is DAL has a team of folks in CHS at the 787 final assembly plant. I'm sure they're just looking at everything for the RFP.


That was just me and Mrs. Desperado. Today she's looking at everything in the outlet mall while I sit in the car getting older.

Better start thinking about all 16 acft and 450 pilots and what that will do to movement. I'm sure it won't all be this year and next, but unless this is some gambit to renegotiate leases or a pressure point over RFP prices at Boeing this is the beginning of the end for the 744. We still have a lot of retirements and I imagine an early out would mitigate it further, but either way we are looking at more stagnation, just a matter of how much :(
