I can't imagine being anyway near the interweb while in Prague 1.

Yes, quite a few times. Depends on their staffing levels and what sort of WS's are in the system. AKA Crapshoot! :D

Do you guys see the rumor of what's being offered at AA/US Air?

If it's true and it goes through, it looks like their pay will be tied to our pay. 3% better at first, then at least equal for quite some time.....

Now, that's imagination. I guess they didn't have any naysayers over there.

I'm still looking for a HUGE payraise and this rumor solidifies my thoughts on the subject.....


RUMOR from another thread:

US Air offer:



DAL + 3% DOS (Date of Signing)
2 Years completed....DAL equal (Delta pilots in negotiations now)
5 Years completed...DAL/UAL average
10% B fund
4% 401K
A fund frozen

If true, that will allow us to raise pay et al without too much downside. It also means that UCAL will be tied to our restoration too. It is a form of patterning up.

I agree, ACL. I think it's great. LCC has ultra-low costs, and low revenue. The combined airline would need a hell of an increase in revenue to offset the increase in costs.

This actually helps our management farme their thinking about a substantial raise. They want to give us industry standard, and we want industry leading? This turns whatever we do into the standard. With two out of three large competitors paying "Delta Plus", United can match.

What could possibly go wrong now?

The reality is Parker just opened himself up to asinine costs. RA could literally jack our rates so high that they fail on those costs alone. Dumb move for parker given where DAL is heading and our ability to actually pay and afford that level of raise.

The fact remains that even as a combined carrier, there is a ton of rationalization that needs to occur to make them a successful airline.

I often wonder if this is just APA's version of Texas Holdem with Horton. APA now has an out, even though it will be an ugly process.

I was fortunate enough to have a 48 hour layover in PRG on TOE. Did a lot of walking. What a beautiful city. :)

And yet for many others, including those that have never been, the internets is strongly associated with Prague. Hmmmm.
