We allowed this "portfolio of carriers" thing to flourish with the RJ flying that nobody cared about. Now we are becoming a niche player in our own airline.
We need our contract to recognize the Delta MEC. We need to unify Delta flying under the Delta MEC. We need to start making the structural changes which will bind this company to our pilot group.

1- can't get through to Crew Acc. I had to call CPSC, who in turn emailed scheduling, who in turn WALKED the email down to Crew Acc. We need to start complaining LOUDLY about the lack of access to Crew Acc during IROPs.
2- when the schedulers for the Md88 see an FO - they reroute us. No way in h*ll will they let an FO lay over in ATL. We need DALPA to scream loudly to have the company increase the PBS staffing formula for some of our categories.
Also - I suggest we have the company allow us to have "preferences" for domicile layovers like we do for training. Will you need a hotel? Yes or no. Will save some time and stress - with pilots and the crew acc folks

So we're the British lining up shoulder to shoulder to charge a hill in WWI that is manned by German machine guns? Or we're like Detroit UAW workers decades ago fighting for more compensation as GM unloads robots that can build cars better, faster and without any Monday hangover issues?
"Welcome on board Skyteam Airlines, this leg from Tampa to Atlanta was brought to you by Delta Air Lines, if your next leg from Atlanta is to the other side of the world then you will probably be on a brand new A380 or 777-300 obviously flown by another Skyteam partner."

As I stated, a start is to include the Delta MEC in "recognition" so that Delta is bound to negotiate "Delta flying" with the pilots of "Delta Air Lines."
