Happy Thought of the Day
 

American, with the most restrictive scope in the industry just made the largest mainline jet order in history, while stating an intent to dump Eagle in the open market.

Then we agree about one thing.

Go back to C.G. and M.P. and ask them for some documentation to back up what they told you. What? There isn't any! :eek: Oh, yes, your new hire line FO's are your source :rolleyes:

I was a supporter for the prenup concept (despite what you post) and have no affinity for Joe. It comes down to unity and scope restoration. He's against it.Yes, and anyone remember what ALPA's President said about American's scope?

In order to avoid a punch in the nose from an irate P90X practitioner, I'll hold back.

Whenever there is a PCS run. 0700, 1200, 1700, & 2200 per the new changes that when into effect today.

Thanks, That's why I was confused!

How would 5000 North pilots get 1001 South pilots to send in cards?

STEP 1: Tell them that DPA is founded on _____(fill in your gripe)____.
STEP 2: Hope to win the election.
STEP 3: If you win the election, what is to stop the "Interim President" from then announcing the real intention of DPA?

I think you seriously need to think about how a smaller group would have to be extremely sneaky to pull off an overturn of a legally awarded list. The simple fact is they would have to sucker some number of the larger group!

America West pilot:
"If you're right you should be able to go to court and get it overturned."..."Go to court and get it changed. Go through a legal process. Get it thrown out!"

USAPA/DPA Attorney: "This is the process"

USAPA/DPA Attorney said it best about throwing out a seniority award --> Sending in your card "This IS the legal process".

Why would there be documentation? COMAIR and ASA were just following the process, right? There had to be a PID prior to documentation, right?
These "inexperienced" MECs, with the lawyers and the RJDC watching closely, needed the commitment of a PID prior to documenting their fair version of the list. After all, they were just following the checklist. Once the commitment of a PID came down, and it was correctly decided that napkins bearing the Delta logo do NOT constitute operational integration, I
suspect it would have been quite obvious just what the "MECs" had in mind with regards to fair integration. As we have seen, nobody has any
idea just what an arbitrator will do-something some people, NOT to
include CG and MP, have told me that this is exactly what the "MECs", the RJDC, and the RJDC lawyers were counting on.

Interesting how you would even want to associate with Delta pilots, let alone have the desire to become one of us. :rolleyes:

Water meet bridge. :D (Bar too!)

Lessons learned, and if given the opportunity to restore flying lets not try to go down the same doomed road. :)

Not even close, brother. There is a correct version, and an incorrect version. It's more like apples meet oranges.

Although you know that I agree with your restorative flying sentence. Seems as if I heard that same idea in a couple of recent campaigns:rolleyes:

Watch out for that MOU 16 though.
That thing burned me today on the Reserves Available fine print.
They have an escape clause for "summer weekends". (jun,jul,aug)

Of course you did. :D


Reality is that we need to find a way to increase the fulcrum we use as leverage. Step one is to fly more of your flying. That creates instant leverage.

As for the past, I prefer to leave the past in the past and work for future results. I want to take this profession forward. There are lessons to be learned, no matter whose version of history we choose to look at. At the end of the day we still did not integrate any part of the DCI operation. Look at the failures, and when the next opportunity arises, look at how we can go in to the opportunity devoid of ego. Ego kills more opportunities than anything.
