Most categories have 2-3% of total trips assigned OE. 75% 2-3% is not a big deal with the current movement in the company. 7,000 pilots will be gone in the the next 10 years and the company is growing simultaneously.

"Not budging" is not negotiating in good faith.

No, I'll step up and call you a sell out. No need to wait for Carl.



If this was such a small number, why does the Company want it so badly? They just want the extra productivity. Plain and simple. DALPA wants to give it to them, too. To hell with our quality of life. It's all about productivity.

I'm a senior captain that won't be affected by this. I see it as a seniority grab and DALPA is the enabler.

+ 1 on calling you a sell out.

Funny how there are a lot of provisions the company "will not budge on." Which items did we hold a hard line on?

NO!

And let's say 2% is believable and reasonable (I disagree), I of course believe those supporting the LCA relief are entitled to their opinion. Wrong, but entitled!

But lets say 50% +1 of us are okay with it. What did we get in return? All the concessionary items in this TA are for Delta, and against the pilots. Then we self-funded much of the pay raise. Like others have said, pay concessions might be recoverable at later date (it seems we are failing to prove that notion), but all the other compromises, will be PERMANENT or serve as a lowering of the bar from which to COMPROMISE EVEN MORE next time.

Nothing in the TA is "no big deal."

(sorry for the teen-like use of caps, but I felt it on this one!)

No it is not. I'll let you do your own research and find out how wrong alpa is.

I don't know what got into me.





It's this damn TA I tell ya. If this upside down TA world where 100% only means 2% spreads to the rest of the world, we're screwed.

I couldn't even remotely bring myself to say "Roll Ti-" ugh. See? Can't do it.

Exactly right. Which is why (if that even happened) the response should have been laughter and: "That's awesome Richard...you funny guy" then leave an NMB card on the table.

Of course, that would have required real negotiators that don't cry.

That's damn good point Bender.

Why do they get to not negotiate in good faith but we have too?
