How can you be as productive on a 777 as you can as a SWA pilot in a 737 with 5 legs a day? Delta chose which planes would be used on certain routes, and 737s all the way to Asia just can't do it. 777s have first class cabins and can pull in huge amounts of revenue from cargo uplifted on those longer routes. Southwest just can't do that. You just can't compare SWA pilots to Delta pilots, the operations are different. Just stop that nonsense.

We are in deep trouble.
It is painful to read a post like that from a guy like Pineapple. And to log on here and see the connected guys like alfaromeo and slowplay begin their defense of this latest concessionary round of bargaining is just devastating.
This TA is gonna be ugly and its gonna pass and there's nothing we can do to stop it.
Management, the bankruptcy courts and the NMB have done their jobs efficiently and effectively.
The "reset" of the airline piloting profession over the last 10 years has been successful.
Despite our hopes, there will be no "restoration". Our union has already conceded the fight.

That's what happens when you have an MEC who's only experience is concessionary bargaining.
They were told they saved the company, by the company. They believed it ... they learned to enjoy and believe they were important to corporate management.
They have taken ownership for fixing all the company's problems.
It is a tragedy.

Then we TA more productivity all over the NNP for a player to be named later or whatever.

Anyone know how many short calls in a row you can sit? Can they assign you all six in a row, even if you don't request it? For some reason I recall only two in a row are allowed but I don't know where I got that...

I'm not fan of Moak, and he is responsible for much of the prevailing malaise that continues to surround ALPA, but let's at least keep the facts straight. There was never a vote to staple CPZ pilots. The question was whether they would continue to be represented by DALPA, or would be kicked out into their own MEC. The latter option was chosen on a vote along straight pre-merger lines. I do agree that the signal sent was that Delta pilots were no longer interested in any claim to 76-seat flying.
