After 30 plus years if I could change one thing that would be it. And ALPA President too.

Whodathunk! 30 year old airplanes might get parked (the first of the 757's turn 30 in 2014)!

100 B737-900
88 B717
49 (total) MD-90

Yup, some airplanes might get parked...

Hmmmm....

Is 796 greater than 722?

Is 425 less than 619?

A joint contract.

Don't make the mistake of trying to plug a merger into the current contract. There will have to be a new one.

Thrash away.

88 growth airplanes? Nope! Only a few more than what we had when we merged.



I do think (hope) we'll start hiring sooner rather than later...
That really does need to be repeated. I'm amazed at how many don't understand the fleet count with regards to the TA.

What is there to disagree with what he stated?

Can you show me a business model where the owners (members) elect the CEO, the management team and the governance structure (MEC Chair, Committee Chair, LEC reps)?
I must have forgotten that ALPA was a business first and not a representative association...

I just looked to the top right side of this page and...

That is IT!!

I have HAD IT with that Stephanie chick who lives 2.8 miles from me and wants to be my friend!

I'm going to draw a 2.8 mile ring around my house and start driving! When I find that tramp, and I WILL FIND HER, it's going to get nasty!

(I just hope she's a lot older, and fatter than in that picture)

;^)


Hey, it's Friday Night!

Jesse, where's the Underboob??

why? it was stating the obvious.

besides, when dal and nwa merged, we signed a new contract but I kind of remember using the pmdal contract. so wouldn't it be safe to assume if we merged with Alaska we'd use the Delta contract or will we just use Alaskas? or scrap both and start a new one from scratch?

and I thought that pilot contracts don't determine the size of dal's fleet?

You are incorrect. The old PWA had no limits on the number of 70-seat aircraft Delta could operate at DCI.
