Of course we are all concerned about the long term viability of our current position. From the banter that I as well as a few others on here are hearing, there is going to be continued growth and hiring. I am skeptical as well as many of you, but absent of any info to the contrary, currently we are bucking the industry trend. Lets keep it that way.
Here is to some good news out of the negotiation teams!

what makes delta staff their airplanes with more pilots than nwa?
I know your holding out for delta rules which means 400 more pilots (as stated on these boards) but what happens if you are closer to nwa rules wouldn't that mean delta could be over staffed rather than nwa understaffed?

Also, as someone else stated, IMO, any move backwards would be immediately voted down.
As far as why DAL staffs their planes heavier, it's just a negotiated contract item as far as I know. We do staff the over 12 hour stuff with 2 CA's and 2 FO's, wheras NWA does it with 1 CA and 3 FO's. That really doesn't change the total number of people you need, but it doubles the high dollar jobs on the NWA side for the long haul stuff.

At that point there would be no more NWA and "old" DAL.Thats a key point we all need to rememberAlso, as someone else stated, IMO, any move backwards would be immediately voted down.Agree
