I feel the same way as PD. This deal is absolute garbage. It is sh!t. It feels cost neutral to concessionary. I was expecting historic. This is not historic. I was expecting a larger initial raise than contract 2012. Moving profit sharing is not a raise. This is not it. This deal is **** and ALPA is ****. We needed to get rid of ALPA 11 years ago. Now we need to vote this deal down, then get rid of ALPA. We never learn.

Sooooo they are only giving credit to the first level of affected guys. That a fail for me.

All that being said, thank you for being there and passing along information!

As Purple Drank has so succinctly pointed out, I am being paid to help out and help inform the group.

Please ask away. I am here to help as much as I can.

As I have stated before, if I do not know the answer I will ask.

I find it funny how the Delta MEC is deleting every single negative post on their FB page now.

Clearly this is going to see a bigger impact in the new hire aircraft categories as well.

Does that answer the question?


Direct impact of only 180? No way, no how.

It will impact every single FO below the individuals who are unable to hold the schedule they want to bid for (and below the 25%'ers).

Just like a widebody Captain being displaced, it cascades down the list.

To say there will only be a "direct impact" on 180 is entering spin territory. It is not said to "help" the group. It is nonsense.

I saw that as well. Thought it was my computer at first. If that isn't trying to control the message and spin this thing, I don't know what is.

What do you want your dues money used for then? Answering questions and getting information out to help people make a decision seems good to me. I don't see him selling anything unless you think anything other than just calling it crap is selling it.

Vocal minority strikes again - The only people who post online in general say negative things. Anyone happy with the status quo never feels the need to comment.

Hey Professor, there is a question I want asked of the MEC and its stated in the posts previous to mine: Why are negative comments or possibly any comments being removed from the MEC Facebook page? Isn't that what Facebook is for?

Full disclosure: I've never been on Facebook.

I mean, you asked!

Denny
