A quote:

"Is it "unrealistic" for the company to ask for a 40% pay cut AND renege on our pensions? If not, then it is absolutely realistic to seek "restoration plus" back from the company.

For those not well versed in numbers a 40% pay cut requires a 67% pay raise to return to par. Voting "yes" for less on this TA will ensure you make less in 2018 then the rates negotiated nearly 20 years earlier!

If the Company is this motivated to come to an agreement with ALPA under the RLA you can bet there is a lot more money to be had. Don't vote no, vote "Hell NO"!

And on that point it doesn't matter that I don't know what is in this TA."

There ya have it!!

The intel network is alive and well. I think I hear morse code in the background. Good job on predicting the TA this week, but that was almost too easy.

JV language for Atlantic and Pacific flying

Many questions left to be answered on scope and other parts of contract, but this may work for me on a three year deal.
It seems that everyone is focused on the 717, while the real threat to your jobs is probably hidden in the JV language. Joint ventures on your cash-cow international routes will lead to whipsawing of the pilot groups, and unless you have enough protections in the contract language, an eventual reduction in Delta mainline international flying. This is management's, and Airlines for America's wet dream.
The JV language is very likely the reason for the quick TA. If management wants it so badly, you have to ask why.

Nerd;
I'd like to buy you a beer. A few days ago, Alfa asked if we wanted to have a negotiation in the "adult" world. I said yes.

There is a master plan behind the curtain that only a few NDA signers have been briefed on. This is a time of great leverage. If this TA doesn't make us whole, then there is room to make it better.

... and just what is that leverage? Outsourcing is only worth so much.

I agree that small jet outsourcing has a definable top end limit. There is waaaay more to this little exercise than that.

My opinion is, SWA can keep those 717s. They should no way be involved in our TA. They are a low paying, hard working (3-7 legs a day) machine. And who knows, the minute the next "force-majeure" event occurs-->we will cave in again.

Bring on the HEAVIES, Im all for that. Take back all DAL flying, Im all for that too.

If there is no red stapler in this TA, I vote no!
