Fly4hire are you saying to DO or DO NOT endorse the ALPA FPL system in place now at the DAL MEC? Just tell is where you stand. Be transparent and build some trust, :eek:

I think you are referring to "The Lotus of Siam." Best Thai food I've ever had, and lot's of good wine as well. Get there on a Lobster night... and bring your big wallet. This is making me hungry.

Yep, that's the place!

Holy Landing Currency Batman! Did you see the number of reserves on your 737 next month?

Sorry DH, that designation has already been reserved for the LAX guys....you need to find another, equally demeaning reference for the NYC guys.;)

Crazy high in LA next month on the 73 as well. Must be the "reserve system" test.

Speaking of reserves, what does the "max reserve" number indicate at the end of the schedule? Thx.

The time is already in Mecca, but could it be that mainline is not flying that time. Here is a good start>

You suggest ALPA will chant "Unity or Failure in Contract Negotiations". If they were smart, they would chant, "Southwest Plus and all seats over 50 MAINLINE" or something substantial like that. But they won't.....the regionals would file a DFR suit immediately....AND WIN! :eek:

When considering the time available to prepare and negotiate our desires, bear in mind that the DPA Contract Survey opened to members last October. ALPA has yet to post such a survey.:mad:

Unless we as a majority pilot group either get DALPA to act in the best interest of their pilots or replace them with in house union, this>The amendable date is 12/31/2012 and when has ALPA ever signed a contract on the amendable date? We are looking at years before ALPA can produce a contract if history is correct. If we allow ALPA to hack away at our next contract once again, we are just asking for more loopholes in scope and inadequate restoration of pay.

I sure hope that is not the case, but history sides with the above statement. We can't even get an aggressive statement out of DALPA about SCOPE!!!!!!!!!!!!!:rolleyes:
