If there is any truth to this rumor I would bet it's because the ATA is looking at ways to increase our productivity once again using the change in the FARs that are supposed to make us safer. ALPA national needs to get its act together and take a strong stand on this issue. -vpr |
VPR;
I truly suspect that the silence from ALPA on a 500 hr rule and the NPRM can be attributed to working the back channels and trying to stay away from public rhetoric. All the guys I talk to up that a way, state that, so we will have to wait and see what the end result is. Of course a little troop rallying would never hurt. :D |

Okay, let me see if I can put this in a picture format.
This is Delta Air Lines today: http://www.pmci-group.com/images/MD90.jpg It's actually a MD-90. But what is an MD-90? It's an upgraded MD-88 that was introduced in 1987, which was an upgraded MD-80 which was introduced in 1980 which was a stretched DC-9 first introduced in 1965- by Delta btw. So, its an old airplane that has gone from 60 some passengers and 12,000 lbs of thrust to 160 seats and 28,000 lbs per side. The cockpit has some fancy stuff mixed with some of the original. I think all airlines are like that. Except the new ones, like say Jetblue who probably looks more like it's very own EMB-190s that are clean sheet designs with dual HUDs, all the avionics you could ever want, big windows and wider seats. This is say, a Jetblue as an airline: http://cdn-www.airliners.net/aviatio.../4/1194414.jpg We won't ever be clean sheet and that's okay. There is a lot you don't want to get rid of from the old Delta and old NWA. So in time, with the right leadership (which we have) and the sexiest pilots (which the APC crowd is) we're going to go from 9, to 80, to the 88 (DAL pre merger) to 90 (post merger, especially in time) to those Saudi 90s or 717 cockpits (to future Delta), metaphorically speaking. This is where Delta is headed: http://cdn-www.airliners.net/aviatio.../0/1529017.jpg |

First I heard about it, thought I'd let ch'all chew it up and spit it out. It's all about the union vote going on right now. Scare the old ladies in ATL by telling them DAL is going to send their jobs overseas if they don't vote for union protection. |
