Now once again i am not Delta so I do not know all the info you guys have on this just playing a little devils advocate.

That is not the "mandates" I was referring to.

Block hour ratios would have been nice.....oh wait.... they did put those in there to ensure that mainline pilots get a greater share of the flying. Great job ALPA!!!!

FWIW.... Just spoke with a friend of mine that runs the Crew Outfitters stores and was told that they had been informed that hiring is going to start this fall and not stop... They are one of the main uniform suppliers so, hopefully, this is true....and not at the Heavy RJ providers...

About two hours more than I have seen in a year. It's about $922.24 more.

and in January it would be $2,078.56.

I'll take the POSIBILITY of another SC for $2,500 any time. BTW: If I were to get the 80 hour reserve month for January, that extra SC would be worth nearly $3,800.

I love how guys ignore all other facts to try to make a point. Bottom line, reserves are going to fly more to receive more pay. That may include some months of up to 99 hours. Line holder could have made more with greenslips and reserves could have made more with "rolling thunder" without this contract....and could have got paid a lot more per extra hour of flight time.
