Oh yeah, rumor alert. Not related at all to the meeting, but I heard that US Air is negotiating directly with the AA pilots for Delta rates plus 3% with a 7 year fence for support in their takeover attempt.
Would be AWESOME for us in my opinion.

He made a point that between US Air, AA, United and Continental they have been in section 6 contract negotiations for a combined 25 years. That's staggering to me. There's the time value of money, sure. There's holding out for a stellar contract that meets everyone's every wish, sure. There has to be some happy medium.
I believe what he was getting at was that they ended up getting nothing after all of these years and are going to take a paycut now.
(and 4 percent a year without some other incredible, stellar, amazing, out of this world contract improvements would be a no vote for me.)

737-900 ETOPS... Oh the humanity
If they're getting ALL of them ETOPS, they must be headed for the Pacific. Air Mic, the Hawaiian Islands-- GUM base back in the works perhaps?
CDG-- AA,UA,US, Emirates, Singapore, Quatar,JAL, ANA all fly big equipment to their hubs... there's Orly too... Lots of O&D traffic that we should strive to capture with our network and AF partnership. Money to be made there.
I figured US would show the AA pilots the money. If they can back that up, I think they'll get a deal. But what about the pensions?

Just curious, Did Mr. Anderson say anything about our Bankruptcy at Pinnacle and the 74 million dollars Delta is contributing to keep us running? We have 140 200's and they are the youngest 200's Delta has

When Delta management says "they" are going to take a market, it is worth asking if that includes "us." Reference the NYC slot swap.
