Any DCI deep throats out there?

Yes they did. I posted the hot rumors at that time. Tried to get names and dates. The DCI sources did not provide substantiation.t

That looks real.

On another subject, what if Delta comes back with an offer to go to 930 mainline aircraft, with the quid pro quo that the limit on 70/76/90-seat aircraft increases proportinately from 255 to 420. Would that get voted in?

A week after the TA passes, Delta announces they are purchasing the Tranny 717s and putting in an offer to acquire Alaska... now you have your 930 mainline aircraft, and DCI puts in an order for almost 200 new EMB190s/900s/etc. "See you in ten years sucker"

I'm hoping this can't happen. ALPA attorneys would see that trick a mile away, right?

Boomer,

Just talked to my Reps and they are firm on not only holding the line on Scope but actually tightening it up. So from what I just heard first hand, is that something like you propose above would not pass the MEC. :)

Now is this a guarantee? No. I remember well the 70 seat "line in the sand." But at least it is an unequivocal no to relaxing Scope from the DALPA guys.

Time will tell - and it may be rather soon.

Training Pay?
 
Hi guys, Going to IQ training next month and they no longer have ground school, so do we get paid for completing the systems CD via run time like CQ? If so, were can I find how much we are getting paid for this self taught ground school? Thanks.

This is my first IQ under this system.....:eek:

Don't quote me on this since it has been a few years since I did an initial, but I think the Initial System Qual CD run times are on the fleet pages in the welcome document or course syllabus.

Yes, as it turns out you are correct Sir! It was indeed his father...

His father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low-grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. And his mother was a 15-year-old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet. Glad we have it set straight now;)

Scoop,
What base are you in? I got the complete opposite from my P.U.B visit last night from the C44 rep/DPN and MEC people in attendance! Full report to come....

Thanks ACL. I just checked and B744 program information still shows ground school. I guess they haven't got around to updating the welcome letter and syllabus......:rolleyes:
