I hope you're right and I honestly don't think the AT scope/M&A is so strong as to require pilots to go with replacement planes when their scope/M&A was just found so weak SW threatened to operate them separately and phase them out completely.

So DL gets used planes that are 100% (or more) replaced and pilots have to come with, but SW can shut the whole thing down and not even give the furloughed pilots a staple? I just can't sink my teeth into that logic. Not to mention, even if their wording was so cosmically strong that it really did require the extremely unprecidented sport bidding of pilots going with fleet refresh planes (at full ratio/relative no less! LOL!) if those planes touched Boeing or anywhere else first, how could AT force DL to take pilots anyway even if the AT contract had pretend "shadow" language? Its completely unenforceable. Yeah yeah, another DFR suit. Get in line and do what you gotta do cause we ain't taking pilots from a 10% asset sale that is being 100% replaced with no furloughs. At least I hope we're not.

 

Lets hope the contract negotiations continue to go well. The company is giving up considerable leverage on this issue. "Dalpa, Your contract proposal is terrible and we are done talking and request mediation. Company, No problem we will see you in mediation however we should mention we are picking up some 717's as a bridge aircraft. We are only going to operate them for 3 or 4 years but will also bring a 1000 more pilots to Delta so we don't have to do any training. Get your arbitration lawyers back on retainer! Let us know when the SLI list is done."

 

Do you post this stuff so that we'll all go hide in bunkers?

Should we give RA all the titles that North Korea has given chia pet #2?

 

Thanks for filling in the details on that Tom. It was before my time but I did hear a lot of cockpit talk about it as a newb, based in MIA.

 

Guys, quick question about IOE causing trip conflict/drop.

I had a trip on my sked per PBS prior to the end of training. IOE was placed on my sked which conflicted and dropped my original trip. Should I be credited the dropped trip, or is an IOE trip conflict a different animal?

Thanks!

 

There's a thread for this.

 

If I am following what you are asking, you bid a scedule but you were not qualified to fly it. This determines you pay hours for the month. That is all it does.

 

... and it is this one!

 

Are Carl and 88 in the methadone clinic? Carl hasn't even commented on some of the excellent photos posted.

 

My bad. I thought it was an entry for the TOD thread. As far as satire goes, it was wonderful.

Wait... you think he was serious?
