With this I'll negotiate away Scope.

Does this mean that I'll get that chick too if I wear my Delta uniform?

Carl,
It is certainly worth a try. Better yet, score a date with his daughter, what a HOTTIE ! And she's been to Med. school too. Wouldn't that be great? If you could pull off being the baby daddy of Branson's Grand Baby, you'll not only be elected MEC Chairman, even Smiling Bob would have to have a brass statue of you in his office.
Carl, I'm pulling for ya' man!

From some stories and reports, LM is said to have stated to the effect that the cost discount at CPZ is good for us, and that RJs are good for the airline. IF TRUE, those are not the words of a "Scope Hawk", but someone who is willing to trade bucks for any number of Buck Rogers.

To scope fairy has not been kind to either the DAL or NW pilots, over the last few contracts. Said fairy has failed consistently to sprinkle any "Scope Hawk" dust on us. The testicle fairy was also absent...

I am sure we will see some public decisions in the next six to 12 months. I think the economy needs to start moving for the 100 seat question to get answered.
I like the fact that the union has gone on record stating that they have a business plan that works for the 100 seat jet. I want to see it, but at least they have done an E and A one it.
I also do not care if the company sees the RJ as sell limiting. The past has shown us that we need to have it limited in the PWA. The lower the better.

Interesting to see Lagos is a B777, wow. It'd be nice if they walked over to the salt of the earth Nigerians and said we'll give you a 777 if we can also have exclusive IAH-Lagos in a 777. 
Where can I get my Scope Hawk sticker? And a golden statue of Carl? And a reminder of why I have a golden statue of Carl?

Reddog-
The current 195 12 year Capt rate is only $4 hour less than our pre-merger post BK rate that 63% of us voted for
Now it's too low for us?
JB just got $143 an hour for the 190. Should be achievable in 2012.
Further irony is this close to the pre-merger 320 rate....

Rates can be moved up, but scope is very hard to regain once lost. I don't have any problem whatsoever with having one contract with low E-190 rates. By the time the aircraft is on the property in any meaningful numbers, we'll be negotiating a new rate.
There is room in the fleet for many different aircraft sizes. At the intersection between our small narrow-bodies, and the large RJ's, will be new, and probably disputed, territory once the retirement of the small DC-9 leaves it open. Something eventually will fill the gap. I'd rather it be us.
