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

Very strong scope recapture (at all levels), even if over a few years, plus fixing pretty much every other issue immediately, could be worth less money if it was for a short term then right back into early openers in a year or so. Somehow I doubt that's what the company will offer though. More like some 5/4/4 nonsense with nominal improvements to a few areas and next to nothing in the scope department at the RJ/AK/JV levels.

So in 3 years I can make $10K more than now and that temporary contract will last 60% the life of a real one?

As in pilots coming off the DC9 will probably not bid where Flt Ops thinks they will and we'll have a lot more resultant waterfall training. Naive IMO to think they'll backfill into MD88/90 instead of going somewhere completely different. Even if you are flying the DC9 it's still a full initial to go to the -88

I make almost precisely the same amount as a new hire (after probation) first year MD-88B as I make now as an 11-year 73B. Almost exactly the same. Plus, work rules are way worse and no more night/holiday pay and crappy per diem.

I don't want to have to depend on other jobs/income like writing books. In fact, I shouldn't HAVE TO. Unfortunately, I do. Honestly, I don't know how other LA-based FOs get by out here. If you're on RES, its day-to-day.

forgot to bid

They said in indoc that "they" view the relationship with our union like that of a marriage. So constructive engagement is really viewed like a marriage...

Except this is the marriage we're in...

It's about time we put the pants back on in this relationship, and get a scope clause...
