And didn't you previously claim you supported the decision to take them down? Change of mind?

Any recommendations for protocol? Asking for an OAL friend.

JSA's board economy first, then Delta One. The opposite of every other non-rev.

As a reserve pilot it works out very well if we're over manned.

The company wouldn't come to the table by honoring RCC inputs and staffing for the additional X day. DALPA took the proper action and shot the hostage. It stinks we lost a negotiated benefit in our contract, but it was Delta's decision that killed it not DALPA.

I supported the decision based on the company not talking to us per the contract. It however never should have come to that. We no longer have any meanful conversation with the company which is the bigger issue. Nothing is getting done. You have a paralyzed MEC that speaks loudly but carries a very tiny stick.
Some of our reps also need some basic lessons in decorum when meeting with management.

The airline also announced that it will delay the delivery of 22 Airbus jets to reduce capital spending in 2019 through 2021 by $1.2 billion.

We should ask for pay cuts and do some givebacks. Maybe run cabin temperatures into the 90s now.

Also, we can put 80knotsclamp back on a corner on VA Avenue to raise revenue.
