100% spot on! This should be a HUGE focus on C12K. I'd love a big payday, but it won't mean much without job protection. Hopefully we can secure both!

Looks like almost all lines are out. Some x's are missing, but if you click it the schedules still come up.

They are not final so they may change.

IMHO current Compass book would have been fine, with the limit at the current fleet number. Aircraft #37 would require the company to open the contract. Flying the thing at current book would have been worth it for unity. Bringing Compass on board would have provided a model for recapturing flying that set the precedent for a staple seniority order that benefits ALPA members from both carriers. It would have made our union more relevant. It would have increased Delta pilot jobs. What could have been :rolleyes: The number of "large RJ's" allowed to be outsourced as well as the seat limit of what is allowed to be outsourced both need to be significantly reduced. Offering an increase in either (or trying to make lemonaid out of the lemons of previous outsourcing mistakes when said limits were raised) really does nothing. What is "allowed" has to be reversed. That is the only way to fix it. Now if recapturing that flying takes "current book" and that is somehow the only way, then it is what we must do. If that comes with a staple of a particular amount or group of pilots proportional to the recaptured flying...provided the limits in number and aircraft size allowed to be outsourced, are significantly reduced, then fine. But we can staple, integrate, flow, scatter, smother and cover as many seniority lists into ours as we want, all day long, and it won't matter one bit without significant reductions in what can be outsourced. Capping the E175 to 36 airframes while preserving the company's ability to outsource the same number of 76 seaters does nothing. The nice tube of the 175 is just not a significant premium or penalty when it comes to the managerial temptation of pilot jobs being outsourced by whatever means necessary. |
Gloopy, you and I are stating the exact same thing. Agreed :)

Here's a nice little video of Delta Employees in NYC spreading some charitable Holiday cheer for some sick kids:
YouTube - Holiday in the Hangar - JFK Unfortunately, after spending the day getting tossed about in the sea of writhing humanity that is the local shopping mall at Christmas buying things for people that they don't really need, I still can't stand this time of year. http://www.christmaslibrary.ca/grinc...t/grinch03.gif |
The word on the street is that the next AE will:
* Be in the late January-early February 2011. * Have awards to 744, 330, and 7ER categories. * Projected surpluses are on the MD-88. That is all..... |
Some more RES questions for the experts:
I will time out on RES before Christmas, i.e. I will be at the ALV or close enough to it that they can't schedule me anymore. Once I hit that point what do I tell the schedulers so I am not on the hook? Then the question is, is it worth doing a GS? Is there any benefit to a GS when on RES and already timed out? |
Any surpluses on the ATL 767? Or are they holding off on the ER conversion.
