Not to be too gloomy, but I'll bet Delta's opener next spring will be a similarly huge slap in our faces. We'd better be ready for it.

We need this billboard if their opener is a slap in the face:

"Delta refuses to pay it's female and minority pilots as much as SWA does for their male pilots doing the same work. We're just demanding equal pay for equal work."

Yep. The 50 seater is uneconomical so the company wants to get rid of them. The company does not want to replace the 50 seaters with us. It wants to bring in regional jets bigger than the DC-9.Our scope battle at the regional level is not done. Our line in the sand is looked at by the company as a line in the sand. It needs to be a line in concrete.

Heyas Johnso,

A bunch of years ago, when we had 800 guys on furlough, I was sitting reserve, and got called out to do a DH & one leg back. Turned out to be a ferry flight.

The guy I was flying with had a WAY low number for doing a reserve gig like this, so I asked him what was up.

The short version is he lived by the airport, and he told me that scheduling were his buds and would call him for favors like this and he was happy to do them. I said "um, you know we got 800 guys on furlough, right?"

He came right out and said "I don't care about any of that stuff".

There will always be a percentage of guys like this.

Seems strange there would be so much credit when we have lots of 737 bases - I can't see why there would be much deadheading or short days that generate lots of credit.
