It wont mean anything to us at Delta as we are not going to ratify a TA with a section 1 that would allow such aircraft at DCI :cool:
In other words, you may not have the opportunity to vote for a contract that doesn't have scope relief. Which, faced with perpetual negotiations vs significant pay increases for a lot of pilots nearing the end of their career, makes a recipe for disaster. Also Delta has 400+ management pilots, these people have a lot of influence, even if you think they don't. |

They can't use their hands to text, they are too busy with the underboob handshake signal.

One thing to look at though, is Delta directly and indirectly employs a lot of people. It's probably at least somewhere between 250-500K, maybe more. In this economy Delta is "Too Big To Fail", they don't have to put a lot of money on the table to get the NMB to side with them. I think if Delta puts up a lot of cash for scope relief, strictly from a business decision standpoint, DALPA would be inclined to take the deal.

So what you're saying is that Delta will just throw obscene cash at the pilots, DALPA will roll over, and the NMB will impose it's will? Hmm, sounds to me like wishful thinking on your part. |

LOL Thanks for the good laugh. Especially coming from the guy who blamed Delta for the 9E bankruptcy, not a failed merger of 3 airlines and pi$$ poor mgmt. Clearly someone who just doesn't get it and never will.

Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt. |

Your logic runs astray in thinking that larger gauge RJs are coming your way.

Who's the bigger fool if Delta is investing a hundred million plus in Pinnacle, a failing company.....
