That's easy - don't bid the thing.

For the rest of us, I'd much rather have the choice of bidding a Delta job than being forced off the property to fly the same airplane and passengers for an alter ego subsidiary of Delta. I did not quit my job in the top 33% of a seniority list, interview, go through the big pay cut and MD88 just to find myself at a "regional" because my union outsourced me and my job. If at Compass, I want to keep my Delta uniform.

Hey ACL, you realize that if you want to capitalize on all the clout you've earned through this forum to gain votes, you would have to reveal your true identity....how do you spell condundrum?

Easy, Conundrum .... "d" "i" "s" "p" "l" "a" "c" "e" "m" "e" "n" "t" ... conundrum.

"ding"

Next spell, hermaphroditic and use that in a sentence.

Agreed. It's a good place to start.

Enough people know me who like me. There are also enough people who know me that will do almost anything to sink me. So who cares.

Remember, if I sign my true identity, ever, Info is done. Forever.

Threat duly noted and received. No one wants and end to the info!

I agree, thats what USAIR had to do to get the E-190 on property and had they not then Chauttleublic would be flying them for even less. The "RJ" disaster of the last decade should be a HUGE lesson to everyone that outsourcing OUR company's flying does nothing but degrade everyones QOL and payrates.

If one thinks of it as, its 20 bucks less an hour so no thanks, then i guess we should hand over all flying because after all, the current payrates are at least $20 less an hour now than during previous contracts. :eek:
