We should give no relief in this or any upcoming CBA to allow blatant disregard for safety. 10 hour bock time 2 pilot ETOPS is unsafe, especially with over 60's in one seat.

No relief for that and no relief for our lack of hiring if we indeed put it off until its too late. No scope relief and no PRP's. Ever again. No matter what.

I can't wait for them to saturate themselves right out of the market.

According to My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw Ferris pass out at 31 Flavors last night:

Suit A: Hey Ed, did you hear Emirates just ordered fifty more 777's?
Suit B: Yeah, that takes them to 182 ?
Suit A: No, that would be 183
Suit B: ha, well I was never any good at math
Suit A: We need to code share with them
Suit B: Now that's something we can agree on, pass the grape juice

I would not be surprised to see a code share or JV at all. They are looking for a new partner.

That is actually a very viable career path.
Scope concessions, joint ventures and code-sharing will eventually eliminate all but a few Delta pilots.
Guys are going to have to follow the airplanes offshore.

Does Emirates make you wear a hat?

And they are looking for pilots, lots of them.
