· Change in PTIX definition:

This little goodie will cost us in the neighborhood of 1% of W-2

Like the change to block hours for international scope, the insiders toss out these incredible concessions with no explanation of the cost to our pilots.

Disgusting.

How exactly can that be. I thought we were running 55% of the block hours at a EASK of 47%. It turns out we were running about 52%. With the increase to 50% I see nothing like a 20% decrease. If you are correct I will vote no.

Now, a A380 crossing = 752 crossing? Seems like we'd lose a huge amount of flying, or as george says, 20%. I go with George.
Obviously we lose when you switch from Seat Miles to Block Hours, because as you point out, we have 'smaller' international jets. With the Seat Mile metric, Delta has to fly MORE (2X) air frames across the pond to break even with our JV partners 747's, A380's and 777-300's. With the Block Hour metric, all they have to do is put one 757 'match' an A380 or 777 JV flight.

Epic FAIL in JV Scope!

If they don't let us vote on this, the gloves come off.

No one who is opposed to sending this to memrat has an actual plan to make more money.

Let the pilots decide.

With the elimination of some DCI scope language, it looks like the DCI can now fly hub to hub?

And remember, SEA is NOT a Hub!

Concessionary is when you give money to the company. This will cost out to be in the vicinity on 1 million dollars a day of additional money in the pilots pocket.

You may not think that is enough. Fine. But concessionary? Please.

So you're a yes because it's got Section 3 pay raises and that's all that matters? None of the other stuff matters? OE bidding? PS? Scope? None of it?

If DALPA puts it out to memory rat then they're saying vote for it. That alone guarantees a pass.

And how do we know the other members of the MEC don't have a better plan?
