Woohoo. We're bringing back the HNL pilot base.

You forgot Haneda slots, the only thing of interest at one time.

This is one of the top 5 biggest untruths the dark side perpetuates.

Are you saying Bastian is so dumb he is asking for more 76 seat jets at DCI and he won't make it happen?

Why does he ask for this concession?

Because in my opinion he has Canoll in the bag. Canoll will roll over on lowering the restricted ATP minimums and we will, yet again, have our pants down around our ankles.

No more 76 seat jets at DCI. We will be more than happy to fly all Delta jets with Delta seniority list pilots.

James

You are hitting all the talking points for management.

How does saying no to more 76 seat jets at DCI cost us money?

How much would you sell all our vacation for?

How much would you sell our JV scope for?

We can't staff 717's.

Times are good. Economy is good. Fuel is cheap. Why in the world would you even consider giving up one airplane worth of scope? Parking MD-88s to be replaced with CS100. So we charge more for a seat, less capacity. B-717/CS100 cover MD-88 flying. Your new large RJs that you're willing to give away then do the 717 flying.

Log into delta net. Look at the news: DCI just broke a performance record. *** are you talking about they can't staff? Giving up scope in this market will come back and bite you when the market turns.

And one group's overwhelming majority is the whole group's overwhelming majority. The vote will come when the TA comes. Until then I will fight to influence the TA in favor of the pilots because it is affordable and we are deserving. Your choices are exactly your choices.

I think the DCI carriers still do over 50% of Delta's domestic departures. That is beyond unacceptable. Allowing one more 76 seat jet is a non starter.

And on the JV side......

We better have the best language ever written. We are going to need it.
