How brilliant is that? I hear that DALPA is cool with the arrangement.

No idea how they will handle reserves.
I am not any kind of official word, but there has been nothing that I have heard along these lines....

Then again, I have been on vacation for the last 2 weeks.

Ya think?

Not a single one of our elected reps have complained about this. Not one. We've surrendered our authority to be the exclusive bargaining agent for Delta pilots, and our reps refuse to fight it.

Perhaps for the first time ever, the apathy of our elected reps exceeds that of the membership.

It's not being considered. It was a resolution passed at a LEC meeting. If the company wants a domestic only category they already have it and can simply cancel the category closure.

Has the "vacation any" started yet? And if it has, is it too late to use it since June has been awarded? Is it too late to move the vacation too?
Last resort: Call Planning.

Replacement costs from a fire usually exceed the original face value of the policy!

Good luck!

Thanks for the offer.

Let me start by saying I normally don't post rumors or feed into them but this one is gaining traction. I came across a post on airlines.net a minute ago about a possible order but I blew it off, airliners.net is usually incredibly inaccurate. However, ...

Regardless, any jets would be replacement jets, so it's hardly worth getting excited.
