Yet we made no changes in desired staffing numbers. If you look at the monthly news letters showing block hours it's all out there to see.

Has anyone ever heard of a new Chick-fil-A opening causing a major traffic problem for over 3 weeks!?! Well it's happening in my neck of the woods. There are cones out on the road to funnel traffic. The drive tru line is still reaching unheard of lengths (16 to 30 cars!). OMG, it's a freakin' fast food place that uses chicken!

Pinchanickel has picked up their game, the 900 is a nice ride.

Wow. HIGHLY debatable. No offense but you weren't here when that happened. it's a little rediculous to believe that the 717 deal hinged entirely on pilot negotiations. We're not as important as we often think and it was a well played move that appealed to both pilot egos and pilot fears.

Wait. Trip7 wasn't even here for C12?

Then why is he acting like an expert on it??

Good for Richard. He is doing phenomenal job and I hope he keeps it up. I have no problem with him getting a 22% raise.

as long as we get 22% over 2015 rates in C2015.

Also, negotiation is about give and take. No Union Negotiator will get to a table bang their fist on the table and get everything they ask for and give nothing in return.

There will be concessions on C2015. Obviously there will likely be more gains then concessions.
Trip,
I get it, Delta is better than your regional. I'm guessing you were a union guy at your regional. That's great. Delta's a great company. I like my job, I like my coworkers, but the koolaid sucks.

That is highly unlikely. WN basically handed us those planes- absolutely no way mgmt would not have taken them.
