That **** ain't right!
Now, how about we 'leverage' this to FIX our JV imbalance?

It was also stated that Delta would likely need to hire indefinitely for the foreseeable future, but the key is that the board approved hiring only up to May 2015. 340 pilots in 2015 equals exactly 85 new hires per month through April.

Hopefully the good times keep on rolling for a decade+

I doubt you will ever get displaced off the 7ER to smaller equipment. The fleet plan overlayed with pilot retirements does not support that happening.

I don't know, and I don't particularly care, considering our contract will be re-negotiated Section 6, and the survey is leaving several key sections wide-open.
If this was a slow month, maybe I'd be more interested in debating ER programs.

I know only 377 have taken the survey, but this is is mind boggling to me. We all tout that scope is the most important thing for us, and yet if these are to be believed it isn't even in the top 3 for most people. Pay, retirement, and work rules beat it out.

Love him or hate him, Carl adds a ton to the discussion here.
It's a sad state of affairs at APC when moderators don't act impartially.
Johnso you, like the ALPA, have a serious credibility problem.

I didn't think it was Carl who posted that picture, he only made a (funny) comment about it!
A bit thinned skin Johnso? Heck, there wasn't even any under/over boob in that pict!Free Jesse...and Carl too!

I do see the logic in just going ahead and offering the early out, and also see the logic in holding the company to just displace. I would rather not see an unnecessary cascade of displacements, though.
