At the VERY least, dues will decrease and monies available to our pilot group will skyrocket.
Do folks on here know about the outgoing ATL chief pilot's ALPA background? Totally unsat. I want my union folks to be persona non-Grata in the Mecca hierarchy.

And yet everyone here wants us to be more like SW? Strange

It's good that we're going into section 6 with a "perceived" low cost carrier making more than we do for the same work. I'm not convinced about everything in our contract but on two major topics, scope and pay, they reign supreme over us.
I'm concerned about AMR.

Short Call
Is there some kind of airline meltdown going to happen tomorrow? I'm asking because, I am trying to figure out why crew scheduling has assigned 7 short calls out 11 guys on reserve for tomorrow in my category. They only require 2 and the next open trip is on Dec 22? Maybe they are just trying to make sure we all get five before the end of the month.......

Back to the WOW: Maybe I should clarify. I think a lot of the DC-9 guys/gals I fly with are just like everyone else -- waiting for the big one.
Please don't think I am complaining either. I've had my WOW and I hope to be done for a while. But, I must point out that the -9 is a great airplane.
Go Saints!

I'll be rooting for the Saints as well, only because I hate the Giants!
And about the DC 9, I liked it when I flew it, 1984-85, but that was 27 years ago, and they were OLD then! Still it was a lot of fun to fly and it never tried to kill you.
When I checked out in the MD 88, (1992) I said, "Just let me fly it in raw data, like a DC 9, at least then I know whats working and what's not!" (this was when the 88's had no IRU's, just that crappy AHRS system wich would always lead to a Map Fail while shooting a VOR app. below about 3,000') How the FAA ever allowed that thing to be certified is beyond me, but like they say, Boeing builds Airplanes, McDonald Douglas builds Character!

Now here's a question for you: What on God's green Earth makes you think that ALPA will shoot for getting Delta pilots the industry's leading contract given their history?
