I don't think I made my point effectively........we seldom get what we ask for , or deserve,......just what we negotiate....still just sayin' :D

1.

So I wonder if the resulting displacements will have a similar lengthening of their reinstatement rights... naaaaah probably not.

I think I have a good chance of getting this one right... no.

ACL,

Thanks for the answers. There is some bad gouge out there on DN floating around. Thanks for clearing that up for me. I like what DN stands for and hope he will be able to deliver if elected.

Buttermaker.

Where is "bad gouge" on DN floating around?

I am curious to know who is putting out bad info on any candidate and since you have heard some it would be nice to know from where.

Thanks.

2. Dependant on the above, could see up to 1200 positions up for bid right after SOC. followed by another large bid during the summer

3. 15 DC9s coming into Atlanta--this one might not happen

4. A group is in negotiations/familiarizations with a 100seat supplier

5. up to 15 777s to be delivered in next 2 years

6. A fleet of up to 60 MD90s

7. New basing methods(virtual) are being looked at (cost/benefit analysis)

8. New base will be opened"

If all that happens it seems as if Delta would have to hire a lot of pilots. Please do.

We sure won't be hiring any City supporters!!

More likely to see a small quid.

I was thinking that the company would burn their 364 day conversion option on this AE/MD if it occurs.

Possible quid - Immediately paid at new rate if going to a higher paying position regardless of conversion date.

Preferred option = Just Say No.

Preferred quid - too many to list here

Your most likely guess is most likely correct.
