No f'ing way! It will be by our skyteam partners China Southern, Eastern and future member Xiamen airlines. Flying those will be deemed "not our core business" by management and " a solid base hit by alpa" by capturing 3% raises(offset by a reduction in profit sharing of course) for 4 years and a no furlough clause. By allowing this, it helps Delta avoid the massive training that would otherwise be required with 500-800 retirements per year. Not having to worry about the 100 seat and below for domestic or the new generation ultra long haul flying will allow Delta to be wildly profitable and execute their plan years earlier than without the " cooperation of the 6000 alpa represented professional pilots who understand the time value of money". That is what I call bi-winning.

On another note. Jumpseat booking question. Is it 5 1/2, 3 1/2 and 1 1/2 have days now? And if so, if I wanted a jumpseat "To work" on say the 13th of July I could book it by noon mecca time on the 7th or 8th? Thanks

Bad joke. I just couldn't help it.
When you start reading Boomer posts you start feeling the pressure to say something funny too.

Just add 2, 4 or 6 days to your current day, and that's when you can book the jumpseat for personal use, from work and to work, respectively. So by Noon Eastern on 7 Jul you can reserve a jumpseat for the 13th.

From the ALPA website
I thought this was interesting. After voting, I noticed the articles scrolling by and found this one:
Delta Air Lines could save $473 million in engine maintenance, Bombardier CRJ200 ownership and Delta Connection contract costs if its pilots ratify a new collective bargaining agreement they will vote on this month, Aviation Week reported.
Delta Air Lines could save $473M with new pilot contract - Business Courier

Can't possibly be....... This is not a cost-neutral TA, let alone one that actually saves the company money.
I think there was a similar article somebody posted from the NYTimes or somewhere like that.
