I'm convinced it would've passed otherwise, but likely became the first alpa vote completely turned around by social media, because the union conspired with the company to only disclose the bits and pieces that really only amounted to a few carrots.

Also, you must ban those that join just to make waves or divert the topic, or are caught inviting mgmt and/or union personnel. They don't help the cause and do tremendous damage to the intentions of the page. They'll claim their free speech is being quenched, but they really don't have anything productive to contribute.
This is an excellent idea. Any Facebook experts here?

Delta Air Lines Inc Stock: Profit Sharing Reduction Helps Offset 15% Increase, Says Credit Suisse

Credit Suisse noted that the fixed increase of 15% by the amendable date is slightly more than it expected, but the profit sharing offset is more significant at this point. With the 20% profit sharing threshold moving to $6 billion for all employees, the firm expects approximately $500 million of potential savings, compared to $2.5 billion of threshold. The firm believes that this will be large enough saving to offset the fixed increase of 15% for pilots, giving extra cost of approximately $400 million.

Come on sailing think about it. American has it banded with their 777's so why shouldn't we have it banded with ours? Theirs at their rate and ours at our rate. Not that hard.

Full disclosure: I'm on the 330 albeit hanging on with my fingernails!

Good one!

However, on a serious note........if the MEC turns it back, does the NC resign?

If they pass it to us and we turn it back, does the MEC resign?

Interesting times

I cannot believe these jokers made it past C2012, this one is just downright arrogant. Looking forward to DL being the last choice for new hires... Not really

In fact 44's fo rep was kind enough to explain the JV language to me.
SO, since 44 fo rep campaigned on a platform of scope, is his explanantion of the JV language overall positive or negative for us going forward?

I'm. It going to speak for your rep. It would be unfair to him and you.

Sorry for the political answer.

Add in all the other concessions and there you have it, yet another Cost Neutral contract in times of record profits. Aren't we proud.
