RA has many $Billions$ to toss around.....

Maybe our new "out of the box" will be owning an aircraft manufacturing company!

"and your jets for free...."

I guess DAL can always play a more used Airbus 319s to gain leverage. Or maybe they should just do more used A319s anyways. And nobody wants the 318.... probably cheap buy, no? Idk.
No, no, no this is what happens. Delta makes a deal for the C-Series. The Bombardier Board of Directors votes down the deal. Then Delta offers a new deal right away for triple the amount previously and pays way above market prices for the jets. At least that's how our contract is supposed to go so I guess the same holds for aircraft.

Just apply the same idiotic theories you apply to our contract negotiations to other contract negotiations and you will see how ignorant they really are.

Lighten up, Francis. That's a total flame bait post.

I'll be looking for you to come back and update this if JM and the NC bring us a significant improvement on the TA15 two out of three pilots found unacceptable.
There's a few of you I'll be interested in hearing from.

So we can't do the same? We didn't like the deal, and we said no. Why do we have to bend over? When exactly did you lose your backbone?

Or pay market price now and not risk torpedoing a deal that continues the excellence we already provide to the bottom line. Market rates plus current contract sounds like it works for the competition. Man you are bitter, its just business.

When I stop and think we are paying $50m/year for the kind of representation perspective and attitude that considers us 'idiotic'.... the only word that comes to mind is.....INCONCEIVABLE!
