Thanks BR.

Are u sure about that...I Crew shows N as a 23k recovery trip? and X is no pay this rotation...

Was wondering because I don't see a code listed for a "green slip with conflict in Base"

Just out of base GSWC..which coded as a T....

Some level of dividend probably makes sense, but a short-medium term transfer of 5B in capital to long term investors and zero loyality analcyst day traders alike will in no way provide the same ROI as investing a few billion more into our product.

In any case there is zero justification for any concessions, givebacks, fixes or relief of any kind right now. C2015 should be complete gains in every category with no givebacks and if not then no deal.

Let's not forget who else wins in shareholder returns...

Thanks for the correction. H is the correct code non N. Fat fingers...

H#X where H = OOB GS/Instructor GS, #X = Number of GS for the pilot.

J is the code if the OOB GS is awarded with <12 hours to report.

what is the code for a Greenslip with conflict in base in Icrew on the trip coverage page? I selected help, but its not really clear...

C.

If you read the detailed description I find it very confusing, but "C" is the correct code for an in base green slip with conflict.

80,
Heading to NZ next March and just had a conversation with the wife 5 minutes ago and she felt we couldn't do both S and N islands in 11 days. Is she right? We are not extreme outdoorsy types but would like to see both.

If we are limited to just one, which would you recommend?

Thanks, FTS.

Whatever you do, take your time and enjoy either, rather than racing around trying to see everything!

I'm retiring there if Hilary steals the votes!:eek:

Delta Boosts Dividend 50%, Unveils $5 Billion Buyback - WSJ

5 billion reasons why this next TA shouldn't be concessionary.

How about the 1 Billion they will use to fund pensions? Says they are doing that because it's the right thing to do to keep promises made to employees.*



*except pilots who are the only employee group not back to pre-bankruptcy pay levels and no longer have a pension for us to fund.

I'm pretty sure that's not his point and I'm pretty sure you know it. The company is spending 5 billion to buy back shares and he is pointing out who benefits the most from the company's 5 Billion dollar expenditure. Also, doubling the dividend will cause more buying by income geared Mutual funds, thus pumping up the stock price further. I believe our concessions from 2004-2006 were valued at a little over 1 Billion a year.

The company just committed 5 years of our concessions to shareholders (some of our largest individual shareholders being Management types and Directors) while we are in negotiations. In other words, the company has no desire to make us whole after 12 years of our concessions. I'm assuming, of course, that they don't have another 5 Billion laying around earmarked to pay us back for our generous contributions.

But you knew that T, you were just being argumentative.

RA and company are pretty confident that labor risk is, in fact, off the table. I'm trying not to let it feel like a slap in the face.

The Billions of dollars being returned to shareholders, management, etc. will convert the auto YES votes into labor risk in the blink of an eye if it's a penny below C2K. At least 51% of us have enough self esteem to demand a fair TA.
