You keep posting that, at least you have given up on the massive job loss stuff you kept spewing.
Here is what I don't understand. It's clear you want to be at war with management yet you seem to worship SWAPA who were the pioneers of the concept of working with management. DALPA tries for a new model somewhat based on SWAPA and produces a result that puts us at the top of the industry not long after being in chapter 11. Not a single airline in the last 15 years taking your approach has accomplished much of anything. Once again I have to go with reality and results. I want the most money and best quality of life I can get within the realities of working under the RLA. What we are doing has produced a remarkable result.

That was kind of strange. Isn't saying you are the most trusted airline kind of like saying you are the best hockey player in all of Ethiopia?

1) I never predicted massive job loss. You, on the other hand, kept "spewing" about 300 early outs leading up to C12. How did that work out?
2) the "Reality" is that in this age of record profits for the company, you constantly attempt to tell us we shouldn't strive to reap rewards commensurate with the company's success.
3) granting concession after concession with record profitability doesn't square with my definition of a "remarkable result."
Your analysis is complete garbage. . Kindly stick to posting facts and we're all much better off.

Do any of you guys/gals still use the Alpa insurance? I signed up for some of it when I was a new-hire and just keep paying the bill. Is any of it really worth it?

On airliners.net, airline porn site, someone had compiled a statistic from winter 2014 showing how many DAL flights by hub were mainline vs regional.
ATL 70% mainline. Neat.
DTW 35% mainline and 65% DCI.
MSP 40% mainline and 60% DCI.
LGA 27% mainline and 73% DCI.
SLC 39% mainline and 61% DCI.
JFK 61% mainline and 39% DCI.
LAX 52% mainline and 48% DCI.
CVG 21% mainline and 79% DCI.
Holding off on the remaining 30 76-seaters is probably not because they have second thoughts about regional jets, if that was the case why order 40?
In fact, someone was telling me just yesterday that supposedly our guys went to pick up a 717 and it was still in AirTran paint. Supposedly it had to be delivered because of a 76-seater showed up too early. I wasn't there, I don't know.

I have never found their insurance that good of a deal. Get some quotes from other sources and see how they match up.
