A proffer of arbritration is just that...a proffer. All one side has to do is say no, and it's done. When it comes to binding arbitration, I would hope our side would be the one to say no, and quickly.

I hope what you meant to say was to achieve a GOOD contract by the amendable date. Achieving one just to get it done is not necessarily a good idea... with all the variables involved, time may or may not be on our side. I guess we will find out in a year or so.

BTW, there was a Clamp sighting in A concourse ops at around 1600 today during an airport appreciation sit. Thanks to the company giving this vampire a trip with all early morning sign ins, someone got an opportunity to take a picture of me:

No there won't, and most of us understand that. I've spoken personally to many former PanAm and former Western guys, and the response is the same: "Delta doesn't believe in adopt and go, they believe in adapt or go away." But I'm sure they were all just whiners too.

There you have it. Leave it to you to find a metric that makes IT look good by comparison. If you are any indication of the MEC, DALPA and DAL are joined at the hip...at one with the universe...finished with a full vulcan mind meld.

Is this a picture of you taking care of the flight attendants prized possession?

Yes. I made that fairly clear in my last 850,000 posts. :D

Carl,

We just saw one change in policy regarding the yellow fever. I think that we owe it to the folks on the transition teams to have a little patience. They just completed the biggest milestone (SOC) in record time.

We (DAL-N) have been complaining for the last how many months about all the changes that we have had to endure and now we are complaining that there aren't going to be more of them? :confused:

If we don't see a true melding of the worlds happening, then lets get the pitchforks and torches. I just don't think that it is fair to openly state as fact that there wont be any changes because the PanAm guys said so.

What would you consider a reasonable time-frame for best practice changes to begin occurring as policy?
