[QUOTE=RiddleEagle18;556539]DAL pilots just signed a LOA with the company now allowing 152 76 seat airplanes as apposed to 120. Let the fighting begin for new airframes]

I guess I can kiss the dream of ever flying for a Major or Legacy. Is AA the only pilot group with sense? The no furlough carrot will be yanked off the table if the economy continues to go south.

I think Continental is still holding scope at 50 seats.

Not sure about the ratio, but the rest is so true.

Agreed. Its totally pathetic. I'm in utter disbelief that we could do this with no input from any line pilot.

It wasn't the line pilot that did this. We had NO say in the matter. I guess once again our Union Reps just think they know what is best for us. Let's restore the profession! Excuse me while I go throw up!

I think whats great about this is that both groups are finally fed up with it all. The majority of regional pilots realize this is not good for their career(except the RJDC guys) and most major guys are sick of giving it up.

I'm getting so ****ed reading the majors board I figured I'll break my silence here and respond to your post...

Not to mention FNW pilots were completely blindsided by this! We had no idea. This happened before our MEC's joined forces. I bet our(FNW) MEC didn't know this was going on, or at the very least, it was a done deal before they could stop it.

As someone mentioned yesterday on the majors, we need to elect some firebreathers (FNW) who won't deal with this crap!

Furlough protection is worthless!!!

That is ALPA for you. I guess we Regional Pilots will never be able to fly for the Majors.

I know. That's my point. The line pilots interests were completely disregarded by our "elected" officials. Disgusting.

I agree. I was furloughed from 2001-2006 under the No Furlough clause that was thrown out due to Force Majeure.

You're right about the FNWA MEC. They couldn't have known this deal was being done behind their backs because I doubt seriously they would have gone along with it.
