That's how I felt when I saw it pull up to the gate. Especially, when I remembered seeing the DAL 73N in early May that was going to MKE from MSP.

Imagine how you will feel if the AE that comes out is anything but positive.

Seriously, will someone explain to me how this is ok with our contract?

THIS IS A SCOPE FAILURE AND OFFENDS ME JUST AS MUCH AS RAH.

IMO, our scope is being eroded from ALL sides.

Why is this not being addressed?

They do the same thing SEA-ATL. Last I heard they were thinking about a 2nd flight. Skimming the cream so to speak. Also think PDX-HNL and SEA-OGG. This is just off the top of my head. But Network says we (Delta) can plan our schedules together as long as they are feeding international but we don't with domestic routes because that would be against the law.........yeah, right...... The previous is just my opinion, I have no proof but if it walks like a duck and talks like a duck, guess what?!

I remember when we used to feed our own international. (SEA- NRT/SEA - AMS) Oh wait!

I remember when we used to fly SEA - OGG. (DC-10/ 757's) Oh wait!

I think we used to fly PDX - HNL, too.

That duck is kicking our.....

In response to the last dozen or so posts: how many of you are still willing to let ALPA be the source of our legal and negotiating "expertise" going forward?

I think that is a good starting point.

IMO shooting for SWA rates is just a little low imo.

Carl;
Looking zt historical trends yes, ALPA gets larger gains in section six that SWAPA has. ALK is ALPA, HI is ALPA. DAL has not had a section six since 2001 where ALPA obtained the largest gains of any organized pilot group. My position is ALPA must get it right to survive, but they have a good history of it outside of CH11. Some people just cannot stand to admit that we have not seen a successful section six in ten years. Nor has CAL, AMR, UAL, etc.

Considering the page hits this thread gets, I don't know who should be more scared. APC, or it's advertisers.

Mod this thread and Adam Smith's invisible hand will type a different uniform resource locator and the pings will pong.

"MD - Technology for the 21st Century" ... that's quite the punch line.

Douglas didn't even make it to the 21st Century.
