It's a full-page advertisment that pretty much reads as follows:

"Will YOUR Delta flight take off? Delta and its regional carriers must STOP: manipulating bankruptcy to exploit pilot wages and work rules, engaging in stall tactics that sidestep the collective bargaining process, placing the burden of inadequate staffing on pilots and their families, believing that $19,000 a year is a livable wage for any pilot"

You can see it at http://DCIpilots.alpa.org

You got to love it ! I am guessing that none of the DCI RFP is out yet. I hope that CMR gets their flying back.

Strange how they haven't awarded the RFP yet. . . .

What a joke.

My school distributes free newspapers in the dorms so I went downstairs and grabbed a copy. It's awesome!!!!!

Only one suggestion: they should have been clearer with the Delta flight hours thing. It says "more than 30% of Delta flight hours*" are flown by Comair and ASA. The asteric indicates that this refers to Delta Connection flight hours, not total Delta. I think that could have been clearer by saying "30% of Delta Connection flight hours". But I guess that's just nitpicking.

I wonder how much the skywest management loves whipsawing the asa pilots around. asa has been waiting on a contract for more than 4 years. now skywest buys them and they will probably stall it out another 4 years. Sweet!!! They dont get a raise for 8 years!!! stick it to 'em skywest, stick it to 'em.
