Cannot get to the fleet numbers, do you have to be on a DAL computer to get to these numbers?

thanx!

Nope.

If you are on that page it is the 11th item listed. It is an excel file. Just keep looking down after the loads for the June sked.

Titled: Dec09FleetCount

Possibly. Unless scheduling has something else they want me to do.

Like fly?


What is that? :eek:

He crossed that line a long time ago when he declared that the RJs were good for us at DAL.

If he knows his intentions right now, the ethical thing to do would be resign as Delta MEC Chairman. Or at the very least - recuse himself from any decisions having to do with domestic scope.
ALPA is different than in the past. The RJ airlines have a far different agenda than the mainline.

I think his decision last year to settle the scope grievance and allow the extra 76 seaters is a classic example of something he should not have done if he knew he was going to run for ALPA President.

Same goes for allowing Republic to continue their Delta codeshare and not file a grievance.

The decision to settle the scope grievance was a smart and intelligent choice not driven by emotion. We allowed the company to keep 76 seats in a few extra aircraft that in all probability they would never had had to remove anyway even if we had won the grievance in a slam dunk. By the time the grievance would have been heard its likely the company would have been in compliance.

Had we chosen to take it to the arbitrator and had he ruled against us the company would now be allowed more 76 today then with the agreement. Losing this in arbitration was a very real possibility and would have allowed the company larger numbers of RJ's for the duration of this contract. We also were able to obtain some limited furlough protection.

THis was a good agreement for the pilots that made sense. It was well thought out and the MEC approved it not Lee Moak. To recap we had almost zero possible gain even if we won the arbitration and a very serious down side if we lost.

Moak is in it for Moak and doesn't care about the pilots, our careers, or really anything else but him.

And guess what, if he went for ALPA President.... Moak would be in it for Moak and wouldn't care about the pilots, our careers, or really anything else but him.

Sad thing is, you really believe that don't you?

Even more sad is that you apparently do not.

I heard half of all the RJs in the country have "DELTA" written on the side.
