Airline Pilot Central Forums - Any "Latest & Greatest" about Delta?

Enough with the DPA/DALPA turfwar! Let's talk about the slot swap and maybe the return of the NFL! Oh yeah, to sum it up let's try this:

Just sent a question in to ALPA and the JV comparisons will be out in a month or two. We are sitting down with KLM/AF pilot groups in the next week or so to get the data.

Guys, if you think this back and forth is bad, just wait until we are about ready to put our opener out there. This is about maximizing our return on our investment. We all need to be rowing in the same direction for that to happen. This is about Unity to get the heavy lifting done!

WRT the slot swap, I guess we still have to wait for the 30 day comment period to expire before the final ruling. I get the feeling that the company would not have submitted this proposal without an unofficial 'yes' nod though.

Whie I agree with this, I also think that the last few days has brought about some very good points and facts. Imagine what this thread would be without the silly tactics from the ALPA lovers vs. The wisdom and experience of Carl. You're right, we need both, and the work in unity in the end.

I don't believe you.

Maybe we can get a "Latest and Greatest about Delta Contract" thread started. Agree this thread has sucked for 3 days.

Thanks FtB for the airport video - got my day started off with a good laugh. :)

Agreed, I think this was all prearranged and now that SWA has a presence in LGA and EWR with slots they didn't pay for, there really wasn't much reason to deny it.
