For some odd reason I decided to open up one of the Union emails and read it, now I know why I kept deleting them as soon as they arrive in my e-mail inbox....
Again, won't happen. Delta doesn't care about Comair! The letter to Anderson won't do squat.
The Unions No. 1 concern should be bringing back furloughed pilots! I find it amazing how there are F/As that got hired a year after me still have a job and I'm on the street, because we have a crappy Union!
- As employees working within the Delta brand, we want to make sure Delta is successful. Delta should change its benefit decision to allow us to contribute to the success of the Delta brand.
- Failure to reverse the travel benefits change will increase the burden of all commuting employees as they attempt to get to and from work. This benefit loss will create many consequences that could threaten the operational integrity of affected carriers and the Delta brand as a whole.

Flex line value negotiations to save jobs and/or bring back furloughees? Anybody else get the VARS message?
Better late than never I guess.... I still dont think the 25+ year guys will go for it.

We'll see. As long I move closer to a recall I will be happy (Yes I want a go back, please don't flame me for it).

I agree that the senor guys won't go for it. But what about the guys in the middle that has to commute to JFK? I think they would take it and only have to commute maybe a couple of times a month. Also isn't June 15 the date that NG4 will announce if they will consider opening a BOS base? I can see another displacement bid if they approve that.
I think that the letter that ALPA is sending RA will backfire. I wonder if any of the other wholly owned are on aboard with this, because the letter only mention Comair not Compass or Mesaba. I can see it now, RA “We need to cut some regional flying, oh what this, a letter from Comair. Ok lets cut their flying.”

Bottom line, anything we can do to mitigate more pilots being forced on the street we should do.

As one of those "senior" guys, I would in fact like to see them institute the flex line system again. I was arguing months ago for our MEC to keep it, even if it only helped a handful of pilots.
