North American is bumping up production to the max. Newk will be the lead line check pilot.

What happens if Air France gets F-104s and starts clipping tails in JFK?

As long as Comair doesn't operate the planes, they should be ok. :D

I think that was just a misguided yet genuine effort in the RJ reduction program!

The time value of money arguement is very apparent. It was mentioned at least 3 times at the c44 meeting and RA has been saying it any chance he gets at the check airman meetings. He has brought up airways, AA, even UCAL. The sad thing is people are buying it hook line and sinker. I spoke to a check airmen in the crew room this weekend and asked him if he heard the rumors 4 8 3 3, and what he thought.
His answer was its not great but I can take it. Its close to my survey numbers and its nice to have something in the pocket now and not have to wait for a while. Plus what really got me was his comment that we can make gains now and set the stage for our next contract. NO our next contract is NOW.
This is what scares me the most. We all read the message board and they seem pretty unified but how many pilots out there do not and are content with a POS like 4 8 3 3. I hope its not many but I am getting very worried something like that will pass.
PROVE ME WRONG FELLOW DELTA PILOTS

Time will tell. I suspect that if these numbers are true, it will be very close. Not good for the company, this pilot group or ALPA.

We should all know shortly.
