I enjoy working at Delta, and I will enjoy working for the "new" Delta. I am just very dedicated to obtaining restoration as soon as possible, and I don't think we're going about it the right way.
Management is not DALPA's friend, and they will never give us anything. I'm tired of DALPA and management having the same opinion on everything. They shouldn't.

The point is, if he voted for LOA 19, how can he be-little anyone who vote for this new contract, claiming it is insufficient, since it is pretty much the same as what you had before?
Thanks for your patience in letting him answer, ace....

They use them like big RJs to feed ATL........and remember...people love their frequency. A 320 and an RJ will not feed ATL.

DALPA just agreed to a change in flying hours for M88 copilots. It looks like this increase will mean the hiring in the fall will now not happen. Rumor is that they did not want to hire pilots in the DALPA side when there will be a surplus on the NWA side that can be transferred over to fill the void after DCC. The waiver is for Jan, Feb and March would be about the time it would take to retrain NWA pilots on the Maddog after DCC. Waiting for more information from the union on why they would grant this concession and limit hiring.

The union's choice was grant the waiver or risk losing this flying back to RJs. What would you have done? I think the union did exactly the right thing this time.

They did, and it allows the company to hire after SLI. It allows some other issues to be worked out.
As for displacements, it would make no sense to do it, since we will will be pulling up for the 777 here in the next few months.
