Buy you a steak dinner if DL ever buys another 747-400. The only way would be if somebody pays us to take them, kind of like the SW 717 deal.

You guys need to give that gal the treatment. Don't you realize how many freckles and moles she has? And it doesn't look like she's brushed her hair lately either...

MEC Alert 13-05 was stunning in tone. After I read the first few sentences I had to look back at the header to make sure it was really from our MEC and not Flight Ops management. It was a tour de force apology for management and a blatant attempt to preempt any criticism from pilots of this decision to buy back shares, pay dividends, forward fund all the remaining DB pensions and otherwise give buckets of money to just about everyone except pilots.
The whole "constructive engagement" and "cooperation not confrontation" style of labor relations that Lee Moak brought to DALPA and now all of ALPA has tilted way too far in the direction of just doing management's bidding.
We keep giving and giving and get nothing in return but COLA raises and the opportunity to further boost our pay by working longer hours and other forms of "enhanced productivity". Gee thanks.
The result of all this is the Delta seniority list continues to shrink while the ALPA endorsed codeshares and JVs and alliances and the number of large RJs continue to multiply. And the Virgin Atlantic thing hasn't even started yet.
Cooperation to achieve common goals is starting to look more like collaboration to control pilot costs. ALPA may have achieved labor peace with management but they better be careful. If they tilt any further they are in danger of losing labor peace with their own membership.
