There are less RJ aircraft, less RJ seats being flown, less RJ pilots, less Delta passengers being deceived about who is flying their aircraft. Those are facts of C2012. An RJ seat is an RJ seat no matter if it is a 50 or 76 seater. The economics and staffing will further reduce the numbers. Just sayin.

And fwiw, what is jet A prices today? $2.42/gal? It's a four year low and far below the $3.20+ that it was when C2012 was being negotiated and Delta was focusing on getting more 76 seaters.
DCI has not been vanquished, they're still here. Hopefully they find more chicken bones to choke on and the 717s that were coming anyways finish them off. Then maybe Delta takes at least the small jet flying back to the big house.

The trend is our friend in this case. Short sighted to just focus on current fuel prices because we know they will go back up and put us back in a position bargain with a new set of economics. Less RJs are good! Even less is far better. Hopefully C2015 will be even less without a need to give anything up. Not likely. Giving up the RJ will cost us. How much do we want to give up is the question to get it back?

Of course, the MEC was then handed the T/A with the profit sharing reduction and our MEC Chairman was quoted as stating: “The T/A should not be judged compared to the pilots aspirations as reflected in the contract survey…there is no context to their wishes”
The same background players are still prominent in the MEC Administration.

Not really sure why fuel prices are going to increase given we are energy dependent for the first time. Or are you buying the peak oil thing Fig? We really need to give you something better to watch than Mr. Maddow.

Also, yes, fuel prices should remain low for the next decade.

Yes and yes. The PWA requires a minimum number of pilots for each position in a bid period (aircraft and seat), that is based on the amount of flying and known absences in that bid period, the ALV, and the previous 12 months' reserve and premium pay flying. Historically, Delta has staffed positions somewhere above that, although I'm not sure by how much.
