Have you sat in the Embraer and the 717 and MD88 and 737?

If so, did you actually notice a difference?

No. He's saying we don't buy airplanes we fly airplanes the company buys. If they need a plane they buy it. We don't have input and it is a false premise to think or suppose that this TA gives us that input.

You will have some that will fly it just to say that they are a Capt. I can have a much better life style flying a larger jet. And yes I will not fly the 717, 88, 737 or the E190. I hate having to jump on those.

And yours is one opinion out of 12000.

That's the nice thing we control the plane we bid to fly. We control the lifestyle we want and we as a group control the Contract we Vote IN or OUT. Me personally don't want to fly in a small uncomfortable cockpit.

....of course that was part of what created this scope problem in the past. Tell me Airbusdude, what you flew before going to work for Delta?

Me either. But there are many that have no desire to fly an airbus or international.

Careful, I sold four hours of sim time for a case of beer to a long time F/O who was throwing craps at upgrade time.

I have my theory's but this is for a reason and unprecedented.
Yes sir or mam, we've been asking that since 2012, same modus operandi back then. I surmise that huge profits are ahead.

Several area code seniority pilots are voicing "hell no" on this forum. I'm one.
