That's a professional negotiating strategy right there. Like a skilled marksman.

So, you make a 6 seat distinction.
The 6 seat distinction is already in the current PWA. Mgmt has to park 70 seaters to add more 76 seaters, but to do it, they have to grow mainline significantly. Enter the GROWTH (as opposed to replacement 717).
They want to park 50 seaters and say to do this basically they have to buy bigger Canadairs...WE HAVE CRJ-900 payrates in OUR current contract.
There is still time to change your vote to a NO...For you waves, why interrupt a string of easy to spell votes ...no, two letters.
Likely plan B for DAL...
Buy 717s
Buy CRJ-900s flown by DAL pilots
Park 50s
Grow mainline - add DCI 76 seaters - park DCI 70 seaters.
Inflation tracking bankruptcy/merger payrates.
Section 6 opened on time with an already mutually agreed to timeframe for seeking joint mediation in april 2013. THIS time with a Strike Preparedness Committee fully spooled up.
6 shortcalls.
alv remains the same, reserves turn into pumpkins 2 hours prior.
Enn Oh, its easy to spell, N O

But then how much of our raise was because we allowed them to swap unwanted 50 seaters for more 76 seaters without having to park 70 seaters nor have anything tied to mainline growth first?
I hope that number was 0 because I'd hate to think scope is for sale.

I voted against the TA on day 1, read everything ALPA published, and I never even considered changing my vote. I've been a no voter since the day I read that first notepad.

A NC that was SERIOUS about holding the line or improving scope (and empowered by the MEC to do so) would have simply walked out the first day when the 82 seaters were mentioned, and simply said "call us when you want to talk".
Instead it was left on the table, giving credibility to the company's postion.
You have ask yourself "why?".
