I think our CEO, JL, RG, etc. would rather burn the company to the ground than pay the pilots what they're worth. And Wall Street loves woke leftism, so they'll get away with it.

I agree we’re hosed. I disagree that the company is taking any chances. Instead, they are simply oblivious to their incompetence and honestly will have no idea how to dig themselves out of this hole once they eventually recognize we’re in it.

I think they dig it when it’s convenient. However, I don’t think they would choose to prioritize it over profitability and they’re only now realizing that having taken our eye off the airline-running ball, we’re about to self-distruct.

EB took the fear mongering Dems at face value when Covid hit. He went way extreme with cuts and staffing models. Predicting some 5+ year recovery. I mean according to an April/May 2020 memo I think last summer we were supposed to have 5400ish pilots. This summer closer to 6,000?!? I mean how stupid can you be to even try to predict something like that,

Now we have snapped back to reality, and Ed is slow to react. If he would’ve reacted this way at the beginning of Covid, and actually analyzed info/explored options… we wouldn’t be where we are right now. We would’ve all been getting our pay in category via PSP with a few 737s and Airbii doing some light work during the peak of Covid.

This group of pilots I think is beginning to wake up as well. About all we can do is take care of each other at this job right now, because the company is struggling to even keep track of crews and airplanes… let alone the rest of this nonsense.

No you should NOT make any decision on that assumption.
During the good times when we were seeing Big Profit sharing checks a good chunk of that $$ came from our code-sharing arrangements. For me I don’t have a problem with CS as I haven’t, and won’t ever fly int’l. Just don’t care to. If I can make a chunk off some other pilot sitting on a jet for 16 hours I’m good with it.
I certainly recognize I’m in a minority with this opinion.
DAL management likes their formula for the division of labor, don’t see it changing.

Wall street loves money.

I think our stock will be a good purchase when it gets under $10

I think you have been imbibing too much. You are showing your ol" arse on numerous threads here as well as other airline forums. I just gotta think you are trolling... it's the only logical explanation

Der Meister

Lol idk what other forums you have seen me on i haven't posted a thing out side of APC in months. Threads yes, I feel our contract is severely lacking in every area and I feel we are severely under compensated. So surly you can't be serious.. BR I found you to be some what reliable but maybe you're just another company shrill that wants to toe the company line that were the highest compensated pilots in the industry (lie)...

I was thinking 17 to 22. I am a bit more optimistic.
