I sure hope this TA gets voted down and the MUCH improved TA that hopefully follows has this removed. I'm sure all the DCI pilots hope it stays but I say why not interview and hire the best people you can.... Whether it's 100% DCI alpa pilots or 0% showing up in class. Just hire the best you can. Don't put restrictions on your selection process

2013 0%
2014 0%
2015 0%
This correlates with having half you airline outsourced and living under a grossly unfair Railway Labor Act which results in your negotiating leverage being ... wait for it ... 0%.
Even if you do assume it is cost neutral for Delta, it is not cost neutral for pilots. The total value of money in our pockets is about $1 billion over the life of the contract. Some of that money would have been spent on RJ costs. So would you rather have that money in your pocket or would you rather send it to engine maintenance? If Delta has to send it to engine maintenance they are not going to give it back to you.
Wow how the center of gravity of this Company has shifted!
Hey, I am not complaining. At least this fight is not at the 100 seat level.

So Steve Dickson is going to give the 717 bid this fall to AT pilots?
From Dickson's weekly update:
"Deliveries of the 717s would start in the middle of 2013 at a rate of about 3 per month, and we would plan on a bid this fall to begin staffing the category.* The 717 will be a separate category, and the TA has established pay rates equivalent to DC-9 rates.**"

If you don't like the 717, then you'd really hate adding RJ's to mainline, as those would really cause a lot of displacements with your logic.

But somehow you seem to want to keep it that way (at least 46% outsourced) and you seem to think that's better than the maximum 39% outsourced...go figure.

Not sure that is what he meant. He was yes leaning until he saw the loopholes, that he sees as negating the positive costing.
