Those of us who have witnessed the history with delta and the regionals know if you play ball you may get something good out of it, but what ultimately makes Delta act as someone else already put is when they are backed into a corner. Things didn't get better here in late 2014 until staffing levels went critical to where the 900 operation was threatened. We got retention bonuses! The bleeding stopped. Delta will not do a flow until they have no other choice and that means we go staffing critical again or delta starts to struggle filling their classes which is possible in a few years. Fighting and pushing for it now will only get the Delta hammer brought down on us.
Oh whoareyou311 ready for your displacement to ATL?! FYL!
PS...Upon reading urbans message a few more times again I will admit that since it is so off the wall the whole post could be satire/sarcasm. I don't think many at all can remotely think that is realistic to expect in a possible new contract.

Back in the Comair days ALPA did not have a good enough merger policy between a mainline and a regional so a change was needed to clarify any buyout between a mainline and a regional. Clarify as in make it more advantages to the mainline or mainline pilots. It was also necessary to change/update DAL pilots contract as they used to have in their contract that only DAL pilots could operate DAL owned equipment. ALPA and mainline must protect their 2 class system at all costs regardless of what is right or wrong.

The FA seniority list was a pure staple job. A TWA FA with 35 years seniority was stapled below the most junior AA FA with just a few months seniority.
As a result, Senators McCaskill and Bond got an amendment passed that prohibited a pure staple of mainlines from happening again.
Now, if you will excuse me, I need to rebandage the wound I just tore open.
