One glaring problem here....How is the company supposed to inverse assign a pop up trip once short call pilots have run out?
Acknowledging acceptance of a trip assignment inside of that 10 hour prospective rest period constitutes non-compliance with FAR 117 according to the company. So, basically once crew scheduling has run out of short call pilots and cannot find a suitable reroute pilot they are up paddle creek without a sh!t.

Hey, where's all the discussion on THIS I just got from ALPA:
"At a special meeting of the Delta Master Executive Council of the Air Line Pilots Association, International (ALPA), members elected Capt. Mike Donatelli as Chairman of the Delta MEC. Captain Donatelli’s term will begin immediately continuing until December 31, 2014."
Who is this guy, please tell me it's not someone we see posting here often...comments?

“will continue to emphasize both a collaborative relationship with the company, and I will place an emphasis on MEC strategic planning in order to ensure the Delta pilot careers are protected. Preparation is key; execution is paramount.”
I am hoping this is standard boiler plate stuff, and not a "keep the ship heading in the same direction" stuff.

I read Donatelli's bio there, and he actually sounds like someone I could have a decent basis of understanding with, it's a bit scary:
Chairman of the strike prep committee-- so he understands that aspect of the relationship
F-16 w/ Wisconsin Guard
A-10s at Bentwaters, Weapon's school...
79 USAFA grad
now I'm thinking I flew with him maybe back in the day.

I was getting fairly excited about a new change in leadership, until I saw this:
“will continue to emphasize both a collaborative relationship with the company, and I will place an emphasis on MEC strategic planning in order to ensure the Delta pilot careers are protected. Preparation is key; execution is paramount.”
I am hoping this is standard boiler plate stuff, and not a "keep the ship heading in the same direction" stuff.

I know. I was hoping he would say that his goal is to create an adversarial type of relationship between the union and the company where we can cross our arms, hold our breath, and hope that we get everything that we want within the next 10 years.

In all seriousness, this guy could be the DPA slayer. Impressive to say the least.
