Well, FWIW, I like most of us have moved backwards... but there is way more potential here than there. I am optimistic.

It was pretty hard to get DALPA to believe, investigate, and agree that one of our regional DCIs had increased the max gross weight of some jets (in violation of our contract).

In regard to this topic and others (they are a holding company not a certificated airline) that I approach the issue of "contract violations". Does DALPA or ALPA REALLY pay attention? Do they REALLY?


When 50% + 1 are angry enough.. they will REALLY pay attention.. until then... your guess is as good as my wife's....

This one gets the "stupid post of the day" award, imo.:mad:

You might think you won't see the left seat for that long because of the merger, but I think you kept a seat and aren't looking in from the outside from furlough (like every other major carrier had).

Really? REALLY?

Utter BS.

Delta pilots on this webboard asked for some form of proof/documentation so we could enforce our contract. ALPA went to management. They did investigate, and scope was enforced.

Ahhh, yes, the quintessential "Stop crying, or I will give you something to REALLY cry about" speech.

And they wonder why DPA continues to get cards....

Anyone,

Why when I log into icrew sometimes the pop up screen says logging out? Can get into the flight ops page with no problem. It is hit or miss. Sometimes it allows me to log right in to icrew and other times not.

That's happened to me a few times over the last month. I restart my computer and try again, and it works fine. No idea why.

Heyas Boog,

You can pick up trips from the swap board and it is not restricted by the pick-up cap.

Yeah, you're right Nu. The merger with NWA was a really bad idea for Delta South. What were they thinking?:rolleyes:

Leine,

Here is the issue. It is going to sound very delicious for the company to offer HUGE pay raises in exchange for Scope relief. Scope relief means less mainline jobs, thus Senior dudes might become junior or stagnate, while junior dudes get furloughed. But the main issue is, the company owes us BIG PAY RAISES IN EXCHANGE FOR NOTHING. The UNION needs to live this!

We already "gave" and sacrificed. Now we deserve our money back plus!

The Union needs to know that Bryan Bedford is going to "*****" out his product and "army" to secure flying for his "failing" entity. Our company is going to look at that Bedford "cheap" lift and salivate.

Also, negotiation was never meant to be easy. We gave away easily but to get it back we are going to have to WORK for it and not step backwards. Management will never give us anything for free so we are going to have to work hard and DEMAND what we are worth.

We can do this while providing excellent service to our clients,coworkers and company by being the professionals we are. This process is normal. However, Bedford style managers and pilot greed will be the thorn that breaks apart the process.

I have a hard time understanding, why Mainline flying needs to be outsourced. SWA doesnt outsource and look at their compensation and profits and culture.
