FTB,
You can get a lot more jug training right here. Skip to 2:45 if you don't want to watch the golf hooker parts.

Let me get this straight: You are ridiculing me for not being satisfied with our health plan, compensation, and representation.
I guess my goal of attaining significant improvements across the board, and being willing to fight for those improvements, is somehow at odds with your perverse view of a benevolent, God-like Delta, who, with DALPA at its right hand, will always take care of you.
Folks like you are why we'll never be able to negotiate the contract we want.

I too wish for better health care, pay, and work rules. However, I choose to make my desires heard by participating in Council meetings, writing or calling my rep, and filling out surveys. BTW, you and I have nothing to do with our contract negotiations. You nor I will ever be the ones who will be the reason why we will never negotiate the contract we want. All we have is a YES or NO vote. Perhaps you should focus your energy on reading our union material(and DPA's as well if you wish) so that when the time comes, we will be educated on what is being presented to us. That way we will understand the TA and will be able to vote with knowledge, rather then emotion.

What makes you think they have -any- intention of replacing them? For the third A/E in a row, there will again be displacemets off the 777 Capt. And they have not (yet) replaced the 747 Capts. that were displaced earlier. This March AE should be very telling, as it's meant to cover the summer schedule. Of course it may cary some other weight too, as in, a shot across the bow for Section 6 Openers, to be exchanged in April. Don't think they won't use it to gain some leverage for us to capitualte...something...to save further displacements.

The 744 fleet is over by so many pilots that almost a 1/3 of the list is reserves. The point is that it is either an early out, or large displacements. Combine that with comments made by executives at the last airline investor conference, about further capacity reductions, there are pieces that could fit together.
One could infer that this was my own private idea, but honestly, I could careless. At least we aren't talking about the "F" word...

This being my third section 6, a displacement the month prior to openers does send a message, even if it is not intended.

All I know is, I'm glad I didn't spring for those ANR headphones.
The Mad Dog is quiet, right? Right?

Correct and as they stated by 2014 we will not see as drastic of a winter pulldown. About 1/2 of what we see now. That said, they have about a three month window of opportunity to displace and train on lower jets before it costs more to do this than hire.

It wasn't spin. The comment was in Q&A and was extemporaneous. Earlier the day it was mentioned that American's management had taken pay concessions off the table in their bankruptcy bargaining and was offering 1.5% pay raises. (American also proposed some really bad scope, which was effectively Delta scope with the limits at 86 seats and 255 large jets, or half mainline).
What has me a little confused is the idea of making 2bn in 2012 while cutting employees.
Again I ask: "What is our core business?" "Then why don't we invest in that?"

Bar,
Pilots think our core business is safely transporting passengers. Management thinks our core business is selling tickets. They are investing in what they perceive our core business is.
