And I'll be standing right beside you, Bucking. With my kids in tow as well.

Kids? I would go to downtown Atlanta with a large bus and bring a bunch of our friendly workers from "South of the Border."

Glad my children can walk, because they will. No more Delta pilots get sold.

Hilarious to see you screw yourself into the roof with this one. In the past ten years ALPA's always held scope sales to try to bring up pay. They're addicted to that stuff.

With assurances of furlough protection and promises of growth facilitated through outsourcing a lot of you morons will sign right up for the same crap you've been voting for a decade now.

The Delta MEC mostly has this contract to fluff their bed for retirement. They don't give a crap what happens to this place, or you. Picket the MEC, picket the union, they don't care, they don't even like unions. They like free meals, booze, trip drops and pay checks that help them keep up with college tuition costs while still retiring like an esquire, they're entitled you know.

You want to keep your job ... that's your problem.

And that post is either extremely sarcastic, or extremely clueless. Which are you, jabber?

Starting to come into focus
 
Visibility is improving ... one very possible scenario ... hope that I am wrong
  • Scope negotiations are probably holding up the Delta Request for Proposal. It makes more sense to operate the E190, a type already operated off the property there than here.
  • The this to be actionable on the MEC level means a deal is probably already hammered out.
  • Best way to deal with this is going to be a push for membership ratification.
  • The RFP will be used as a distraction ... hey look over here new big airplanes & promises ... while DCI grows.
Jabber might have been making fun but, the unfortunate sign is our MEC is more addicted to scope sales than ever. Like most addicts this will be the "last time" just as Moak's side agreement was the "last time" that cleared up that (without MEMRAT) and as was each and every concessionary allowance.

I may be out on a limb, but I'm thinking the RFP pushed a scope negotiation. As written in the Compass presentation the risk of not taking the E175 was that the TYPE would be outsourced up to its full capacities. If true, the first thing we must do is get this to the membership for a vote.

Hey guys, we can operate these airplanes here. Give us a chance.

This is the rumor we have been hearing at pinnacle. Also, today we took on another Frontier executive here at 9E.
