Scope is the most frequently negotiated section of our contract. The question is constantly relevant.
JMHO, we're going to get some of that back with the 717's. We have a little momentum that I hope we can build on.

Well, sorta. Those jobs were pretty directly outsourced to Comair & Republic.
It is not a waste of intellectual energy if you believe that Delta pilots should perform Delta flying.

Lots of guys once could hold Delta Express captain in their second year with the company back in the late 90s. Does that mean that they have all been getting the shaft ever since? Guess what? The entire industry has sucked for a decade. You know that as much as anyone.
Who cares what a guy could hold back in 1998, or 1988, or 1958? Who cares if "a captain could buy a Cadillac with a month's salary" back in 1971? What is going on today, and how can we best move forward are the only truly important questions. Anything else is a waste of intellectual energy.

For perspective, just chat with a UAL or US Air or Air Tran dude.

I think your going to find that with the long planned retirements on the 757 there will be displacements off that aircraft on most bids. The key is the gain of 77 more Captains slots. This puts us over 275 new Captains in the last 12 months. As long as they are adding Captains then hiring has to follow as the surplus of FO's moves to CA slots.

Yes, you can blame your union for the new fangled, disguised B-scale that continues to hamper the junior population. Just goes to prove what getting the "right" guys in the "right" positions can do. Sad.

I have to agree. Career expectations in this profession are worthless. I think we're on the uptick but its not, nor will it ever be, what it once was. At this point, we should just seek the best for our families and be very thankful that our merger was so successful.
