-would like 777 temporary bases to reduce credit.
RFP, it was asked that comments stay off the forums however decision should be released 4 to 5 days after BOD meeting.
The real question is will the net result be block hour and widebody seat positive?
Of course they are getting some. No one disputes that. But will they be fewer large wide bodies flying to CDG/AMS/LHR in a plan that requires fewer DL pilots, or will be it DL widebody pilot growth?
Bigger planes are great, but ONLY if they bring an equal or greater number of jobs to the table. That is the big question WRT this and any other so called widebody RFP.
Straight QOL, homie

2015 Health Plan Evaluator is online.
You need to find the tiny "More Plan Options" right below the "print this page" button to see the DPMP numbers.
I'm sure that's just a coincidence.

Hearing the American new pilot deal is our pay rates plus 5%. No other details. Hopefully some more DC, vacation and higher value of vacation/training day.

No, but it is a good idea to have a passport on her in case the airline screws up. Like when we put a UM on a flight to FCO instead of MCO.

I'm far more concerned with what some may expect us to have to "give up" to get whatever we end up seeing in any TA. If AA exceeded our pay by 5% and did it with a higher B fund percentage, higher vacation and other credits, and didn't sell scope to get anything, we should be able to pattern bargain significantly higher in all areas than where we are now without "paying for it" ourselves.

If that's true, we're set up for significant gains IMO. Just getting the insane old Airways pay rates off the table, much less replaced with something higher than we have now, sets us up for significantly more than 4/8/3/3.

Still, not a reason to not put in some restrictions for the protection and defense of law-abiding citizens who do not desire travel to west African countries. And more reason to have better border security that some would like to avoid.
Just so I am reading you correctly, the net increase of 73 airframes will be 717's, 737's and a couple A330's while parking airframes from the 7ER and 747 categories? When you say the fleet will go from 559 to 667 in 2015 are you counting airframes (717's/737's) that have already arrived or from point in time now to 2015?
Do you see any growth in Delta pilot/ Delta metal international flying going into 2015 or more code share (ie we don't take ownership of our flying and are international ticket brokers) nonsense?
