Seems like a powerful incentive to do the flying yourself, unless of course their isn't enough passenger volume to support a mainline aircraft.
Is it true that the maximum number of DL coded pax on an Alaska flight segment is limited to a maximum of 86 Delta passengers or 50% of of the capacity whichever is lower and that the actual number is far less than that?
Would those thin routes go to a 50 seat RJ or mainline aircraft?
Also, doesn't this code share agreement cut both ways? Don't we fly Alaska passengers on our aircraft under a similar agreement, many of them to Asia?

The argument that you give is logical, but what comes before this argument is more important. What is DAL's strategic vision?; One where they continue to grow organically and acquire the competition, or one where there is a gigantic transnational virtual network, where most of the flying is not performed on their branded metal, but coded metal.
Pilots and unions want their companies to do well, but we also want to see growth a job protection and expansion. What we are currently seeing is growth off of our list, that provides a better network for the DAL passenger, but a nonlinear return for the pilots. IMO, that is where all of the angst is over the Metal Neutral, as well as the code share and capacity agreements. Everyone understands your points, but we need to look at the assumptions on which they are made.

Any chance to change the format so that I always have the option of coming back to where I left off? Please PM if this doesn't make any sense.

Let me see what I can dig up. I know that what you are talking about. The only time you can go the the last read post and the L and G is when it is the Thread that shows up first in the majors section. With the UCAL Sub forum sometimes the L and G is still first but there is a more recent post in the UCAL Sub-forum.

Am I obligated to check my schedule via the computer at 3pm or is the VRU phone call enough? The scheduler said that they have no way of knowing when I called in and that they can only know if and when I check the computer.

There are a bunch of new scheduler and they have NO idea what they are doing, many coming from other departments in the company.
All the other responses to your question are spot on.
