Disregard.... I'll wait for the TA

 

OK...exactly where was the underboob in that video? Perhaps I missed it.

Not sure about the DCI question. That would be interesting indeed.

As for the extrapolation, DL pilots, with our supposed lack of productivity (which is mostly a management choice with fleet and mission types that drive revenue in the first place) DL pilots still produce more revenue per pilot than SWA pilots.

And like you said, if any DCI pilots/planes are rolled into that because they are wholly owned or leased by DL or whatever, we pull away by even more than the 2 Billion a year differential.

 

Carl-
There are things in this world just as important as underboob.
For instance -- Hips, thighs and butts.

In that spirit, and since today is devoted to cultural themes I think we should all improve our dancing.
This video should be studied carefully:

Anyone seen my dip cup?

 

Most of the time I come to this forum, go to this thread and work backwards.

Well, after ten minutes I can say I done did seen enough.

For (1), that would be an interesting stratedgy indeed. Of course it would be spun as "evil wanna be union blocks pay raise!" but that goes without saying.

For (2), while I'm not one getting spun up about the dues rumor, the UAL angle is very interesting. While there is talk and a perpetual 40%ish pre-loaded card drive at any given time at DL, UAL is, IMO, even more likely to be the first to leave ALPA. Not a sure thing of course, just more likely IMO. That would leave DL pilots shouldering the industry and being on the hook for any insane TWA ambulance chaser windfall. Even the mother of all CBA's brought to the DL pilots by ALPA (and that's a stretch!) would make leaving an absolute necessity. While I see the reasons for a potential UAL increase, I can't imagine ALPA would be so stupid as to inflame one of the "Big 2" like that. Especially the one that may have the shortest fuse with ALPA to begin with.

For (3), you got that right. It reminds me of watching your team on defense make a dramatic sack, then celebrate like they are champions. Then the next play they give up a first down. Then they make two stops, one for a 2 yard loss, and celebrate like champs. Then give up long yardage on a 3rd down shotgun....etc. Like one of those defenses that celebrates their entire way backwards down the field as they get score on. But you couldn't get anything by them on second down, so at least they have that going for them!

And your punting analogy is right on too. We do a garden variety punt that gives the other team pretty good field position and give them the ball, and celebrate how many yards we just "gained".

 

Good move, especially when all the AS guys will bid ATL as soon as they can anyway, especially for the chance to fly a widebody. Home prices in SEA will plummet with all the supply.

Hey scheduling and PCS guru guys,

I put in a swap with the pot with both trips leaving on 27 May and both getting back on 30 May. Reserve coverage is good. My denial reason is "swap not allowed until next months schedules are published."

What's up with that? I called scheduling and they couldn't explain it.

TIA,
