Trolls
 

Fellas,

Beware its that time of year - the Trolls are out in force.

When someone comes on here and asks about the "plan" now that we voted down the TA feel free to remind them that:

1. The vote was whether or not you approved the TA. Period. There was not an option to input a Plan B with a No vote.
2. So contrary to the what the Trolls are putting out the vote was not this:
Yes - I approve the TA.
No - I disapprove the TA. (Note selecting this option will require the voter to submit a detailed "Plan B" because DALPA did not have a plan B).
3. DALPA is the entity that we pay to come up with Plan B. I think they forget MEMRAT has more than 1 outcome.:eek:
3. Many who voted "No" me included, are on record as saying we are in it for the long haul - if that means 3 months or 3 years, So be it.


So beware the new Forum members who on Post # 1 start asking us all "What our Plan is?"

I personally am quite Happy where we are - new MEC chair, new NC, not even at the amendable date yet and remember this, the company has many "wants," we do have leverage.

Oh yeah and any time someone comes on and starts whining how much money he/she is losing each month tell them that plenty of FOs are enjoying IOE trip drops. No one has to report to the department of sick leave adjudication, and most importantly tell them to enjoy their PS check which thanks to the defeated TA will probably be larger in February 2017 than in February 2016. ;)

Absolutely spot on.

BTW, for the record had one OE trip buy last month and scored two easy two day greenslips.

Thanks.

That said, can we still feed the trolls? It's highly entertaining.

"In it for the long haul."

There's dalpa's bag tag and pen motto.

I don't know if it counts as trolling but Sailingfun is over on the DAL Poolie Info thread spreading carefully crafted deceit.

Sailing,
I wanted to respond to your post over on the poolie thread but didn't want to continue your hi-jacking attempt over there. Why don't you come back over here where folks have a chance to refute your inaccuracies? Seems kind of low to be spreading your BS on a thread where most followers may not have enough information to debate you.

He's gone over there where he can sell his BS on purpose. Nobody is buying here anymore.

Thank you, trust!

Scary. I calls to mind the old Jesuit maxim: "Give me the child and I'll give you the man."

Don't give him the children.

The problem for sailing is we poolies have had 6 plus months to observe and aren't rocket idiots. The learning curve is steep, but it's pretty easy to see who cares about the younguns and who doesn't already.

Why not state where the info I posted is in error. There were questions asked about aircraft deliveries and hiring next year. I took the info posted directly off Delta net.
Reminds me of posting about manning assumptions used by crew planning after contract 2012. I posted what crew planning said and asked people contact them and post what they said. Actually several people from here did but never bothered to post the answers they received. Strange they did not put the info out, isn't it!

Just thought I'd move this reminder over here on how bad sailingfun's record really is from the Poolie thread.

"The shift of DCI block hours to the mainline is coming to a end this winter. With the TA it was planned to continue that migration which would have required more pilots. The Skywest E175 order is the start of managements plan B.
The good news is even without the additional block hours hiring should be strong." - Sailingfun on poolie thread

Sailingfun,

My issue is with your post on the poolie thread (pasted above). As has been pointed out, you make what appears to be a passive aggressive attempt to pin the 2016 hiring reduction on the failed TA. If you were referring to the new E190/195 airframes that the TA had in it, I don't think that fleet plan had any affect on reducing 2016 new hire numbers whatsoever. We don't have any Embraer sims on property and there was no timeline announced for fleet entry into service - that service entry could very well have been years down the road. Do you know what the service entry timeline looked like?

You guys willing to give back profit sharing and take concessions ought to donate your profit sharing to a good cause. Like the when the employees bought Delta a 767. Maybe, Ed's beachfront condo.
