Very happy for all those folks in limbo and frankly stunned at the limited downside to this AIP. Selfishly I hope I am able to take advantage of some of this voluntary leave and not be stuck in an undermanned category with either no company offers of leave or a voted down LOA 20-3.

An OCC guy on Skynet has said he’s been told bookings are expected to rise beginning 11/3. He didn’t elaborate why but we are still bringing planes out of storage and taking new deliveries. We still have over 200 in storage but I agree we could see a surprise Q4 result.
Personal opinion only, but the Presidential election won’t be decided on 11/03. You didn’t add any smiley faces but I’m guessing you’re at least partly joking about bookings going up after 11/3, but the winner of this election won’t be agreed to until a few days before the inauguration.

It’s purely a chronological coincidence. In all seriousness, this alleged increase in bookings has nothing to do with the election. That’s the gut feeling I got when he posted it.

hopefully they bring you guys on, I’m really rooting for you all. I’ve got a friend in the pool and I’m really hoping it is a seamless transition. They have 2 options, they can call everyone back in for a quick re interview or they can start over. Earlier this year they were ready to bring you all on as future DL captains, hopefully they honor their deals.
I may be the only one but I’m hoping for maxes. 73N was my first choice in training and I was really liking the 737. I’d love to get to fly new ones

How did you slip by the MMPI? Weren’t there questions about “self harm” and “enjoying punishment”?

no I read it....and it reads like a bullet point. The UNA pilots who got a furlough notice get 30 hrs.....great thanks for letting me know where those pilots stand.
it doesn’t say the UNA of 30hrs is limited to or only for those that got furlough notices.
sorry just something I noticed.....some of your pilots are talking about squishy language? That may be it. I can see that backfiring big time.

Anyways, as a new hire in March who's been on training pay this entire time, no type, and no one willing to call me for work because I have "Delta" on my resume, thank you ALPA, MEC and the NC for this great deal. Fingers crossed I can fly in 2022 and this will help my family and I survive through 2021. Fingers crossed this passes.

How will LOA #20-04 affect LOA #20-03?
Just wondering if the recently released details of LOA #20-04 will affect anyones vote on #20-03? Is there any chance for 20-04 if 20-03 fails? Part of me thinks its a nice agreement that the company has no intention of finalizing if LOA #20-03 fails. They're coming out now with something that looks good (like protecting all from furlough until 2022) but when/if LOA #20-03 gets voted down they'll just pick up their toys and go home. 20-04 will be swiftly taken off the table at which point they'll tell us we have no one to blame but ourselves.
From what I've been hearing out on the line it sounds like 20-03 is doomed. Keep in mind my sample size is small but... I did have 7 FO's on a 4-day trip. The represented many bases and all but 1 were pretty strong NO votes.

First of all good on the NC and MEC! IMO whether 20-03 passes or not doesn’t affect 20-04. If 20-03 doesn’t pass wouldn’t that mean 1941 are affected vs 1721 if 20-03 passes? I don’t think that’s enough for the company to back out. I really think management likes the optics and PR it gains from saying nobody at Delta will be furloughed.

FWIW, I am likely to change my own 20-03 vote from an emphatic No to a benumbered Yes.
