Got rerouted into Golden day...what are my best options to bargain for when I call skeds today? I heard there are 3 different scenarios...??

Thanks

You have 2 options:

1) Accept the assignment & get the day paid back

2) Decline the assignment with no repercussions.

As far as I know, that is it. No extra $$$.

Best hammer is a unified pilot group along with good timing.

I would bet they are spending massive amounts on lobbying efforts in an effort to focus on the growing part. Talk about a camels nose under the tent.

I keep seeing you post about a unified group and your opinions against DPA. The problem is we are already a divided group....... Those who want to believe in ALPA even with all its shortcomings and those who would like to see a new representative body that will support Delta pilots not the masses.

Yes it is my first month on reserve.

Actually they still have a few CR7s left, they're trying to get rid of the rest (ASA has picked up several, as have some overseas airlines). A lot of my friends at QX are convinced that this, along with the decision to kill the Horizon brand and make it a mere "Alaska Express" carrier, is a first step to another regional coming in to fly mainline-replacement-sized aircraft for Alaska. If so, you wonder who's really behind it - AAG management alone or Alaska's largest codeshare partner and potential purchaser looking for a way to outsource 86-seat flying (directly or indirectly)?
