Yes, they directed a change to both OO and 9E that captured several additional metrics including wheels rolling on pushback. The new version rolled out and was installed at both properties several months ago. I would argue that they don’t have authority to change procedure at an airline as that would involve operational control.

We do not. It was going to be rolled out but turned off at Delta’s request. They have us fly in and out of NYC at M.80 to maintain on time arrivals, also at DLs request. It just wastes fuel but for some reason it’s what DL wants.

All good info, thanks.

As far as the higher fuel burn goes, Delta has shown a propensity to spend money to keep the operation as reliable as possible so I’m not surprised about that.

For us it was a two fold response to the company. Yes, we said “Umm.. no” to the company’s drive to keep the brake up until push but we also spoke to them in words they’d understand. “You either want on-time departures or you want to fix latency. Can’t have both, take your pick.” As others have said, without an actual union, I wish y’all the best of luck.

9E uses "if you're not clacking, you're slacking". .82 Tally Ho!

^^^^^
This 😂 100%

We did have a fuel savings plan in place, but customer service is the focus. So go fast everywhere, and APU extended use for cabin temperature control.

The clacker doesn't go off until after you pass through the first red bar on the CRJ. Ask any 9E pilot.

I swear to God you all better be joking or been there on accident. We had a rash of idiots here years back and we shamed them into flying like an adult. We'll do it again.

Hahaha!

That’s more like it, I’m seening more and more M 0.80 on the legs page of the realease.

It used to be that inbound to NYC M.80 was the standard, but nowadays M.80 is normal going in or out of NYC.
