I hear ya. Never give up anything for a management promise of new jets. I'll fly DC-3s if it pays DC-9 rates. Don't need shiney new jets...just need a shiney new paycheck. If management wants the new jets, they can buy them with their money, not mine:cool: |

FWIW;
There will probably be 777-300's here before the end of 2010 to start replacing or augmenting the 744 lift. At NWA/REP we had the same challenge to the A-320. Were they replacements for the B-727s (ratio'd between NWA and REP pilots) or new (1:1) Ended up that they were new and not replacements. Seen any B-727s lately:) At any rate wording on the parking of protected seats and the replacement aircraft will be very important.......stay tuned for more fun and games |

I belive that they are already prepping the lawsuits for these aircraft.

He means if the 747 goes away and a 777-300 conspicuously shows up on the ramp with Delta South pilots being protected on that equipment.
They are waiting until after SOC so "one side does not have to absorb all the displacements" as they say. I think there is a good chance all this will happen without litigation, but they are getting prepared just in case. |

I really can't figure out why these guys can't figure out how to run North-South on the West Coast. The one real growth opportunity area in this merger gets given to Alaska while we get the incredible shrinking airline.
I like what I know about their new contract. Good for them! It will be interesting to see what their improved merger and fragmentation language means. At least I like what they bring to the table of we do merge with them. |

With that said, you have to understand that DAL/NWA is committed now to getting SOC as FAST as possible. It HAS to happen to stem the bleeding. The first AE after that will be chaos, and there are going to be LOTS of displacements. Unless you are uber senior in category, you are at risk.

Back in 1993 my former employer was looking at a big order of 767's....along comes Airbus with an incredibly sweet deal with ultra low financing on A300-600's.
The bait and switch worked, but around a year later reality hit when the price and availability became apparent. Airbus took us to the woodshed, proving once again that the devil really is in the details. Regards...... |
