I like a good rumor as much as the next guy, but honestly I would've thought you also had heard why they bought them.

Yep. I think you're absolutely right. Someone else posted on here a while back that he had flown with SD and SD wanted them. And DALPA is apparently all too willing to go along with this. Fill out those surveys, folks. Just say NO to CDO's! Let your reps know there will be consequences (think recall) if they allow this to be in a deal.

So if we see a 25% raise on day one but have SDP's I should vote no? I don't want to have to make the decision to vote yes on a contract that is otherwise good but has SDP's snuck in. We shouldn't even have anything about those in the survey or in C2015. I thought they already figured out we didn't want those. They keep coming up because the company really wants them.

Perfect example of how we should act when company comes after profit sharing...

Im 100% sure CDOs will be in C2015.

That's highly unfortunate.
It means they calculated the recovery based on a stock price in the teens.
What's it today? Right around $40? Ouch.

The hits just keep on comin' for us deadzoners.

I know there are still a few days before the AE bid closes, but I'm a low 11,XXX seniority # and there are only 17 pilots senior to me with a bid in for NYC717A. At this rate we might have 717 street Captains.

So-so news: wouldn't have done that if we were planning on dumping the entire fleet in the near term.

Also, the first 3 that are leaving this month are leased and will be returned to the lessor. The last of the four (ship 6301) is owned by Delta and will be sent to the desert, but preserved and covered for possible re-introduction.

That's all I know.

Interesting. Thanks Carl!

Boo, hiss.
