As I was walking in they call and say its CNX'd and that I have to stay in base (I live there so no prob) and I'm on call for the next 6 hours for 23K?
This was originally an off day. So this Gslip can be converted to a RSV assignement even for a REG line holder? Doesn't matter I guess they never called, but wondering If this makes a difference in my pay.

If it helps it says 23K and a G like a usual Gslip on the next 2 days of my schedule?

A captain, first officer, old pilot, young pilot, senior pilot or junior pilot are all delta pilots. No? Were we not all hired by delta?

Just out of curiosity, are you currently employed with delta and asa and comair and pinnacle and mesaba and alaska and hopefully soon, republic airways?

And by the premise of your response, i take it you think alpa national can serve all of those airline pilots even when they compete for the same jobs?



Delta has x amount of flights to perform.

Dci wants as much of those jobs as they can get. Delta pilots want to have all of the jobs associated with that flying.

Alpa represents all of them.

There's no conflict of interest when it comes to who gets to do delta flying, right?



hypothetical to reroute and alfa, would you support ending dci and alaska flying if delta wanted to end dci and alaska flying? Would alpa national give it a green light?



...and to elect our own mec chairman so that change can be affected with far less roadblocks than today, yes? Would dalpa accept a resolution for direct election of the mec chairman by a majority pilot vote say every 2 years? Is there any reason why dalpa would not support such a simple and justifiable change to the current structure?

If its the ticket, let me ask something, is our pay as high as swa's or scope as strong as swa's today and will it be in 2014?

Was the flight CNX or was it reassigned? if CNX why?

If they put you on 23K, I'm thinking that you should receive the full GS trip credit. Not sure as to the legality of being able to place you on 23K.

Exact same analogy goes for my ATL base. You can't have one union representing pilots from all the different bases -- can't be done. Yet DPA would represent all of them. Not right.




Yeah, that's working so well at APA isn't it? The guy who pandered the most got the most votes. Good plan.
