Airline Pilot Central Forums - Details on Delta TA

Anybody else find the use of 777/350 rates as a selling point a little disingenuous? It would be much more useful had they used the 330 since THAT is the airplane the vast majority of pilots will max out on. I couldn't care less what the 777 rates are. (And yes, I would be able to hold it when I am 64)

I do find it interesting who is pushing to "just let the pilots vote on it."
They are part of the same group who basically opposed memrat at every turn, at least when they were the clear majority on the MEC. Of course they were also the same people who spoke over and over and over again about the evilness of a roll call vote, at least till they were in the minority and then they used it without hesitation.

Nothing like consistency....

Just a point of clarification...while MCO-GRU does not technically cross an ocean, in the cartographic sense, per our PWA it does.

PWA Section 2.A.182 - "Ocean Crossing" means a flight segment that:
.....

c. To or from South America, as follows:

1. between the United States and any point further south of the equator than 3 degrees, 30 minutes south latitude on the South American continent

There are some concerns with the TA. This isn't one of them.

I wasn't concerned about it to begin with, I'd love to drive in and fly to GRU. And thanks for the clarification.
