Exactly this^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Was palnning to retire early, but now will probably stick around until 62-63!

We could treat them just like Delta treated the (insert your choice from the menu below) who were turned down by Delta in an interview.

Northeast, Ransom, Western, C&S, ASA (some transferred), Comair (some of them too), Pan Am, Northwest, Pacific Northern Airlines, Mesaba, Compass and Huff Deland Dusters. For all others, just use this blank: _____________ and another sheet of paper if you run out of room.

Unity, more important than bigotry.

(not busting your chops, I like your posts. You just tossed me a softball and I couldn't resist taking a swing)

I dunno. I was asked if I heard something about it, and I responded in the negative. Since it popped up on here, I had to reply, since I had heard about it.

To me could make sense only because they know we will not sell anything larger than we have. As a result they get unlimited 65+ seat jets. They buy what they want, not what the pesky scope clause dictates and it is flown by us. The Quid is that those DCI pilots keep their bidding rights for AE's but in a down bid we push them down, or when there are growth jets we get to bid them with our system seniority and then as a result push them down. It is a great idea, but as with everything the details are where the devil is.

This is probably the most BS posting I have seen in a long time. I have never once heard DPA is looking at SLI issues. I happen to be on the 744 which is based in DTW and have not heard one comment linking DPA to SLI changes. You need to wake up from you own little night mare.

To whom are we supposed to have unity with? I have unity with Delta pilots only.

I support others, I support Coex pilots where I once worked and I refuse to pull up ladders, but my unity is with and only with Delta pilots.

I ask because in that CAL-Coex deal one of the pilots rejected was damn near fired multiple times at Coex. The type that would fly an RJ at 250 knots in all phases of flight except descent, then it was 200. He arrived tremendously late except on the last leg so he could catch his commute. He had money to make back I guess. Overall, a miserable individual.

CAL was right to say no. But they were forced to take him. There were a lot of good people not hired and left us scratching our heads I'm sure. But sometimes, there are people that you wouldn't want to share a cockpit with, no?

All things in our profession can be made fun of with scenes from the movie Airplane!

Point being, what was proposed a few threads back was a staple seniority merger with bidding protections, in which case they would be Delta pilots. Therefore your question would be moot by virtue of the fact that they would be Delta pilots.

Management's job is to keep them off the list, the union's job is to treat all union members the same.

Until they promote me, give me a better schedule, more pay, less responsibility and a better parking spot I'm still labor.

One of my favorite quotes from the banned version of the Cool Aid Chronicle:

--------

ALPA DEFENDS PILOT

Management gave 60 days leave without pay to Captain Smith who it was learned placed fourth in pro / amateur Pebble Beach golf tournament in on May Second, on a day Captain Smith had called in sick. ALPA has responded, filing a grievance which contests the discipline stating, "just think, if Captain Smith had not been sick, he would have won."

It is a joke, but every pilot deserves our union's advocacy. Speaking as a pilot, I say, let management do their job.

Interesting news. Management used the bankruptcy rules to screw pilots. Some pilots used similar acts of legerdemain to unscrew their situation.

Now that ruling may effect a few DAL pilots.
