I'm game and I'll pay $100 to the Delta Pilot Charitable Fund IF any PWA or JPWA put up for member ratification by DALPA does not include any one of the following:
  • An increase of DCI/outsourced seating beyond 76 seats per jet, or
  • An increase in the size of the 71+ seat fleet to 226 or more jets,
  • An increase in the size of the 51-70 seat fleet to 103 or more jets, or
  • An increase in the total 51+ seat fleet to 326 or more jets.
And no, an exchange of any of the current PWA limits for fewer 50 seaters is not a win. We now know from the earnings calls how much of a financial and customer service albatross those things are now so imho they can just fade without a swap. A swap is not a win.

So to recap, I'll HAPPILY pay $100 if not any one of those four points is put up for memrat. And if any one of those happens to be in there- I'll pay anyways since it's a good charity. But you have to give to the DPCF and admit why.
Would you please further clarify your betting position as if it also included the Virgin Atlantic, AF/KLM and Alaska (including outsourced affiliate) flying as well as the rumored aircraft order.

Also, recall the 76 seat line in the sand wasn't put up for memrat.

How much stronger is our hand WITH C2012 JV language now that the Virgin Atlantic deal is imminent (Is it just me or didn't management walk away from negotiations on VA language just last week?)!?

Hahaha. First part: thanks!
second part: Not a chance!

I have it on pretty solid info that the MEC will absolutely enforce the AFKLAZ JV language... But it's not a violation until it's a violation. The Company has the chance to fix it: chances are slim to none!

You'll have to call your rep, but I am not aware of the Company "walking away" from any Virgin Atl. negotiations

Gotcha... Just wanted to show that the AA rates get a "me too" average at DOS+36 and then 2%/yr after that (can't remember if they get to keep averaging in the next years until amendable).

Other unions piggy backing on ALPA again....

Phantom,

Your post was too forward looking for there to be any data to support a conclusion one way, or the other. I still maintain that the 717 is an interim solution if the C Series isn't priced out of the market.

The C Series is a leap nearly as significant as the 787 is. Eventually every airline will have some version of a 787. Boeing priced the 787 aggressively and now has the problem of needing to sell about 1,300 of them before they see the first dime of profit. Bombardier does not have a 737/767-Tanker & military sale cash cow to milk while it awaits a return on it's investment. Pratt, for their part, is such a believer in their GTF that they're spinning up to produce these in huge numbers. They think they'll eventually get the NB sales lead from GE.

Unfortunately, outsourcing is an economic issue. We don't know what management will pay, or what price our MEC might accept, to outsource members' jobs.

I keep hoping we might return to the days when alter ego was properly perceived as the very existential threat that it is to labor. We will not have a decisive victory until we make a moral stand ... that no Delta pilot's job gets sold. Until then, I don't think anyone can make an accurate guess where this goes.

To be fair, we were trying to piggyback SWAPA in C2012 for 737 rates. You sure you don't have a mustache?

Also to be fair, keep in mind that AA contract was a bankruptcy concessionary contract. They got raises in bankruptcy.

Have pride, but not blind pride. Blind pride leads to the DPA representing DL pilots.

Well, since its all about me, it appears in 2016 their A330 Capt rate is only $0.61 above Delia's 2015 rates and $11 lower than our 777 rates.

I thought participation in Blind Pride led to something else entirely:

Blind LGBT Pride International

Talk about not knowing what hit you ....
