Instead of throwing blanket statements out there about his scheduling committee work why don't you give some specific examples of where you feel is has done a poor job. I have only seen outstanding work and the amount of money he has made this pilot group in dealing with the company on contract issues is well into the millions. He personally accounted for at least 5 percent of my income last year. What is more amazing is that he has accomplished this without having to file a grievance every day. He goes into any meetings with the company incredibly well prepared and leaves them with little option other then see things his way.

Why don't we just say that our experiences have varied greatly, and leave it at that.

Like everyone, I'm hoping for the best. If, however, the Negotiating Committee comes up with a TA that falls short of my expectations, "It's the most the company can afford", or "That's not a realistic expectation" isn't going to be an adequate explanation.

Probably because your subgroup is to small to worry about that is what I was told. Can refer you to the post if you want. I never want another brother to suffer no matter what. :D

Ref Scrappy. He is always there to answer scheduling questions etc. From my experience he appears to be wicked smart, and as others have stated he comes in prepared.

I know that he also had a major part to pay in many things. Some good some bad, but in my opinion he will help the delta pilots. I am happy with this choice. Reps done good! :D

Dear Scrappy. Fix the reserve system.

(And please leave out all the rhetoric about how ours is the best in the industry yada yada yada... Make it respect SENIORITY) Anything else, and I am a one issue voter.

Rant over.

T,

The reserve system does respect seniority, doesn't it? If you're senior, more often than not, you won't have to "bid" reserve. :D

(Too junior to even see above the most senior holder of reserve.) :cool:

Let's see if the nine-osaurus can avoid extinction... anyone seen a meteor around here?

Ah, gotchya.

You are correct.. and actually I laughed when I read your post. But the way it was said at DALs prior to the merger was "Don't worry, you'll be senior someday." That being said....

T,

Understand, and for the record, COMPLETELY AGREE.

Previous post intended to offer some humor to this recently turned "dismal" thread. ACL we need less moderator work, and more good news.
  1. What's up with the LGA/DCA slot swap?
  2. Anything new concerning the talks with China Eastern?
  3. When does hiring start, and HOW MANY?
Signed,

GJ:)
