And I agree with the others when they say ALPA won't last if it takes 5 more years for a new contract. We don't want to rush, but we do want a group to push our needs and wants, not drag it out and then give in. Let's hope ALPA and management come up with something satisfying for us in a timely manner. Management has some sort of future plans for merging or expanding. Let's all take advantage of that.

For whatever reason, you've degenerated into name-calling and personal attacks without regard for the validity of many widely held opinions you so vehemently object to. Your credibility is shot. But don't let that stop you from flaunting your arrogance. TSquare--a legend in his own mind. Welcome to my ignore list. That right there is some funny $h!t!! :D:D Someone who has a total of 255 posts on this forum. Has been called out by everyone, to include a moderator or two, about having a bad attitude and they're "dropping dimes" on someone else for having no substance. You're killing me PIG MAN!! :D GJ P.S. Wingnut says it best. "Pot meet kettle."

Jeesh, talk about the pot calling the kettle black. |
Looks like I'll finally get consolidation complete (100 hours in 120 days after training). Last time I got a trip by asking the Chief Pilot's Office for help. Today I called them here in MSP and they said they got in big trouble for doing it...they said the proper procedure was to call the CPSC. The CPSC has a guy working a stack of consolidations, and I was in the stack. Really don't want to go through training again for at least a year if I have any choice in the matter.
Now back to your regularly scheduled arguments. |

I hope its true - and some smaller RJs may be leaving but just look at what is actually happening (LGA Expansion) before believing anything management has said or supposedly says. Scoop Management does not want the 50 seaters gone. They are reducing the number of them in service to match the markets they can fly them and make money. With the increase in fuel prices the number of markets the aircraft is suited for have dropped but they are not all gone. You will still see CRJ50's flying for Delta in 2020. In 1991 when the DC9's were retired we were told they were not viable with fuel prices over a 1 dollar a gallon. They are still here today. |
Gents,
I was asked a question about Delta's QOL that I didn't know how to answer. Can a lineholder pilot pick up a trip out of base? Say a pilot is based in DTW on 7er and really wants once in a while go to Madrid, where he has parents serving a religious mission. How can he pick up a 7er MAD trip out of JFK? 1. GS out of base - is self explanatory, but very rare. 2. White slip? ... never mind I see it is possible on PCS ... 3. Take it (if advertised) from swap board? 4. Swap with the pot? Thank you. |

Fleet Size 2012 - 681 2013 - 636 2014 - 580 2015 - 538 121 of the aircraft coming our of service are "Bombardier" or "Embraer" "Regional Jets" Would you like me to research the numbers for Compass and Shuttle America? The 50 is dead. Wall Street would turn a major into a martyr if they signed a long term 50 seat contract. You've obviously not been to Tucson lately. Or Nashville. Or Montreal... Did the DC-9s all go away yet? How many times has that been planned on a 10-k? William Shatner is still alive. But you wouldn't call him dead yet, right? If you think the 50 will be "dead soon" - then say that. Saying the 50 "is dead" while nearly 900 of them are currently flying is wholly inaccurate. |

How about instead of making inane observations, you and your DALPA buddies worry about getting us the contract we demand. |

I never said it was dead either. I said 50 seaters are being parked.

Ha. Okay. I agree. APC is off too. There aren't 850+ 50 seat rj's flying around for US legacy operators. More like 100, and they just follow me everywhere i go. New fangled crowdsourcing wiki technology, can't trust that gee-wiz stuff! And its not fox news, so it must be wrong! That dang Anonymous guy must be making up fleet numbers and editing 15 different airline wikipedia pages again.
That APC updater guy needs to update his numbers too, hey you're a moderator drop him a line! Tell the guy there aren't 850 50 seaters. This doesn't deserve a response. |

OO is in fact pulling "parked" CRJs out of the dessert and pressing them into service. I hear they are getting rock bottom lease rates on those "unwanted" birds... Cheers George |
