Johnso29 is correct.

The Doubletree did change to a Radisson several months ago, but we are moving next door to the brand new hotel that just opened up.

Should be a blurb in the MEC Vectors that will be out later today. Actually, we are changing on January 1st to new hotels in JFK, GRU, TPA, PEK and on Jan 5th GUM.

So, some retirements, some furlough guys dropping off the list, and some guys leaving for other opportunities I guess.
I will have to double check the new list. I think I only moved up 30 #'s give or take a couple.

Of course NWA's systems didn't interface with any other state of the art systems out there, (which, believe it or not is also a requirement for a global corporation) but don't let that get in your way of a good Delta slam...

That's correct. While innovative, they were not compatible with, well, anything.

Looks like it caused some secondary hydraulic failures. The gear doors were open and the flaps looked like they were still at 5 or so.

Heck of a situation to have when that heavy!

The latest DALPA email had me until this line:
"C2012 demonstrated what was possible when scheduled negotiations intersect with a passing opportunity, and a strong, well-prepared union was capable of taking advantage of the situation to negotiate improvements to the Pilot Working Agreement."

Seriously? That's supposed to keep me from renewing? Someone needs to stop patting themselves on the back and wake up. They put the fear of God into pilots who do their best to avoid risk and got them to pass that POS and for that they think C2012 was something to try and repeat?

DALPA is telling me they're good with more of this:
- minimal wage improvement
- reduced profit sharing
- concessions on scope
- concessions on monthly bidding days in summer months
- concessions on sick day "reasonable" clause
- concessions on ALV +15
- poorly worded scope language that allows the company to get away with ignoring Asia-Pacific scope without immediate and known penalties
Just to name a few.

Yup. They simply don't understand how out of touch they are with a very large portion of this pilot group. Which makes them truly confused and befuddled as to why they're having to fight to remain in control.

But Carl and Tim will fix it all, right?
