Why the purchase of 25 widebodies just to fly the Pacific?

Can you please post the document that shows 25 wide body purchases that are coming JUST to fly the Pacific?

Why did the company sign a TA with us assuring we have a large portion of Pacific flying into the future?

Because our "union" has shown them over and over again that they have no intention to resist management if management decides not to follow our contract. The real question is, why wouldn't management sign a TA? We're forced to follow it, they're not. No downside.

If Delta planned to only fly to Inchon and hub from there they just really screwed up their aircraft purchase! It should have been a smaller number of larger aircraft.

If that's their plan, it's actually the perfect size aircraft.

Now he's every bit as shameless of an ALPA propagandist as Shiznit or sailingfun. How does that happen? What is the DALPA conversion process for guys like Bar?

To me, that's the more interesting question.

Better yet, Where is the real Bar, and what have they done with him?

I don't know what it is, but she's got that certain somethings that makes her stand out.



It's fitting that she was singing some Led Zeppelin. Her band could be Led Balloons.

You're always at your worse when you get personal with other posters, Carl. If you disagree with Bar on an issue, discuss the issue.

You're nobody to be counseling anyone on personal insults and partisan bloviating Sink. Just sayin.

At the flight ops briefing the company stated the 777 was removed from consideration because they were focusing on a going point to point in the Pacific not Hub to hub. In fact I believe you posted comments some time back stating that. They also stated the 330 NEO did not have the range for the planned Pacific operations and they required the A350 or 787 in the Pacific. They stated the 330 NEO would be primarily a Atlantic and SA aircraft. Inchon is well within the 330 NEO's range.


Because our "union" has shown them over and over again that they have no intention to resist management if management decides not to follow our contract. The real question is, why wouldn't management sign a TA? We're forced to follow it, they're not. No downside.

We have multiple sections dealing with scope in the contract. The company is in compliance with every single section. On 1 APR the company will likely be out of compliance with one section. The non compliance looks like it will be equal to about 1 medium haul Europe flight on a 767-400 per day over the measurement period.
I fully expect the union to either file a grievance or reach a settlement with the company on that issue.
