Also, can't wait to see what the company is going to propose for wage cuts tomorrow. My guess is we will be back to the 99 contract, but without its great health benefits..

As in worse health benefits or NO health benefits?

The only good thing about the 99 contract was the excellent health benefits and they were very cheap, unlike our current health benefits. So my guess is our benefits will not be getting better, but stay the same or get worse.

If its '99 contract they can forget about it...people will leave in droves.

Why 32??? Any reason or just fanning the flames? I do find it interesting that we are streamlining ourselves to only have one business partner......Delta.

The reason were streamlining to one carrier is because Daddy Delta would only give the $74 mil in financing (which in reality is only $30 since Delta is going to take $44 off the top for PNCL purchasing Mesaba, which was forced upon them) if they stopped operations with UAL and US Airways, returned the Q-400s back to the lessor, and Delta approves a 6 yr business model. Its great how Menke basically said the only way they would get that money is if greater concessions are given up than they originally asked for. I love how it's the pilot groups fault for mgmt bad choices yet they get massive raises and the labor groups have to pay for both!

Just get out anyway they can, it doesn't have to be a flying job. I'm on 6th year FO pay and if my pay goes back to what it's like with a 99 contact. Most can go to another regional and make almost about the same as a 2nd year FO pay.

probably figuring Delta will do a 2 for 1 swap with us to give back our 16 900's scheduled to be parked, because after the coming forced concessions they will be able to pay what they were before and be profitable and still get rid of 32 50 seaters. Amazing how a corrupt system can work like clockwork.
