Airline Pilot Central Forums - Any "Latest & Greatest" about Delta?

The current MEC will not give back any scope. I’m not sure they’ll agree to any concessions. That’s the good news. The bad news is we probably won’t have a new contract for years.

Considering the rejection and approval rates of TA-1 and TA-2 respectively last time around I have full confidence in the Pilot group to reject a poor deal no matter how hard it is sold. Just as important I have full confidence in the Pilot group to pass a good deal no matter how badly it is trashed on SM.

I have the same worry about waiting for years but lets give the new MEC a chance. Although I don't agree with every move they make I want them to succeed (because it means we succeed) and fully support them.

I do hope they put emphasis on what the Pilot group as a whole want, vice catering disproportionately to small but very vocal factions on SM (think DB).

You posted in a different thread that you already were a Delta employee. Now you're saying Delta people can bump you to the street to fly "your planes." You don't know much about this industry, but at least you're burning bridges as you go. I'm sure it will serve you well as you look to further your career.

Yes and yes. I'd burn any bridge to avoiding you whom apparently can't see sarcasm through the printed prose. Yea, burn that sucker. Twice.

No, I didn't think so. Now run along little starling back to your wholly owned forum and try not to get lost. Wading into the deep end of the big boy pool, well you just might drown, and we certainly don't want that.

Seriously, what is with all the hate? Not a single one of those guys will be senior to you here. Ever. Did some of them whizz in your Wheaties or something?

Is that a good thing?

On the bright side, profit sharing won't be reduced by higher pilot costs while it drags out. 😁
