Airline Pilot Central Forums - Any "Latest & Greatest" about Delta?

If you recall, RA needed the cooperation of Delta pilots to change the PWA's scope language. Without that change, Delta would not have been able to operate NWA aircraft in the Pacific. There would probably be some similar type of PWA problems that would need our agreement in the event of another merger.

so yes, i'm snokered on nyquil as i type so i probably wont respond to any responses to any incendiary comments i make from here on out... but rest assured, if it was me satch, i'd find tsquares house of beer.

try the atl jetway code as the alarm code. if that doesn't work take your delta id. when the cops show tell them youre a delta pilot and not a word more. there is no way they'll question you sinxe its obvious only a delta pilot could live in a mansion on the beach in south florida. thrn say hi to donald trump and act like you belong there.

Damn...how much Nyquil did you take?

Alaska has less than 1500 pilots. Hawaiian has less than 500. Combined they're less than 16% of the Delta pilot group. Which costs more, a delayed integration or a substantial raise for 14000+ pilots?

RA needed a change to scope provisions in our PWA. That is what I meant be cooperation. Without opening up that said PWA and reading it at this early hour, I can't comment as to whether a future tie up would require more cooperation on that front. If so, then we have leverage.

We actually recovered in the joint contract quite a bit more money then the estimated costs for the company to comply with the contract as written. He essentially paid for our cooperation. The contract extension was my hang up.
There are issues with a Alaska merger that would also be problems. Our reps are very aware of that and from talking with them would push for a complete early opening of the contract if a merger with Alaska were to come to pass. The only way however the company is going to go that route is if they feel that someone else is going to make a run on Alaska.

Well I'll be doing the 4 leg FLA tour today so no game for me. I'll have to watch it Sunday when I get back. Wanna come to San Antonio FTB? One of us. Will need the Nyquil!
