You know, it's going to be very interesting to see what happens.

Such as requesting the proverbial tar and feather of anyone who thinks this is cool:


And to anyone who thinks its "not important at all" to do something about and RAH like operations on question 20.

So to answer your question Buzz, I think having social media will be a riot. :D

And I don't buy the whole DAL pilots versus SWA pilots productivity argument. Our pilot group does a lot of different types of flying... so it's hard to compare. Maybe you should look at the revenue we produce and then try to say we shouldn't be paid as much! I think, for whatever reason, you are making excuses for mediocrity and using a good scare tactic to try and deflect the argument.

The data is easily available. For 2010 they averaged 52 block hours per pilot. Delta was at 42. Total pilot costs per block hour flown were 698 at SW and 690 at Delta.

Also understand that those numbers that are reported on the Form 41 are not rationalized for our international three and four man operations. They are flight block hrs not pilot block hrs, and for that reason, the number are not painting the apples to apples picture.

I recommend all the so inclined APC Bubba's to include a similar type statement.

Arbitrator pulled and plugged 350 fNWA guys. NWA side wanted double that. In the first early out program after the SLI came out, 300 guys took it...every one a fNWA guy. The subsequent ones produced another 300 on top of that...nearly all fNWA guys. To date, almost double the amount of pull and plugs are off the combined seniority list.
