I dunno, maybe I'm just not following your line of reasoning.

As almost everyone is tangentially touching on, the DAL MEC has leverage (in about 3-4 different directions) today.

Carl said it simplest - are they going to enforce section 1 or not. Are they really all about "taking every opportunity" What we have here today is a massive opportunity to move the DAL pilots ahead a square or 2 in the cheese store.

Lots of leverage available right now. Call your reps.

I just picked up a out of base Green Slip in DTW. What's a good cheap hotel near the airport where I can buy beer (711 or something).

Thanks

Agree. This whole thing as LOTS of layers. Furlough protection, reclaiming flying and, yes, honoring an agreement that WE put in place for the Compass pilots.

We need to know that the MEC has the moxie to squeeze where it hurts until we get what we want.

LaQuinta or Mariott Springhill Suites are nice, not too bad. $45 I think. Cheaper is the Days Inn, $38 out the door I think. Up the street is the Wheat & Rye. Huge sandwiches and good beer. Also a Irish, Indian, Chinese place, and Subway w/in walking distance. Just ask the desk where the Wheat & Rye is if you want to go there.

There are a ton of commuter friendly hotels in Romulus right next to the airport. Check priceline.com too.

There is a free shuttle from the airport too - kinda important.

I like the Comfort Inn. $2 draft beer in the hotel bar. Rooms are a little rough. Some of them have hot tubs in them. I think it's about $42 out the door. I always laugh when I see a couple checking in with a case of beer for the weekend. It makes me laugh that someone would "romance a girl" at a Comfort Inn.
