My current plan is to bid a regular line in July or August and then drop all the trips. Pre-month our coverage always looks good. Then I'll either take a summer month off or greenslip on a regular line...

Couldn't resist doing the math on that. Wow. I could use a few 42K months.

It is time to turn up the heat. It is time to show some resolve.

The Delta pilots are a money machine. We are generating incredible numbers for this company.
We need to be compensated fairly.
That would require leadership, effort, and resolve.

Yeah, I was kinda surprised at that too! Worked 21 days for it. Except for a 6 day (3 deadhead and 1 live leg) that was the perfect fit for days and block hours of availability, it would have been a perfect month. Still, my best month ever...

I have not given up on Donatelli just yet.
He's been very conservative so far but he might have it in him to say enough is enough.

The Delta pilots have facilitated billions of dollars in corporate profit through our cooperation and collaboration with everything management wished to accomplish over the last few years. Its time for a bit of return on our investment. It's past time. Fair is fair. 4.8.3.3 is not going to cut it.
