Now it says Deltanet is unavailable. I guess I REALLY screwed it up now.

The cost of 5:15 was as posted a big number. It reduces reserve utilization, increases credit system wide and requires more pilots. Those little two days reserves often got with a DH on one day now pay 10:30 instead of 7 hours as a example.
There is as mentioned a contingent of pilots who like CDO's. I certainly don't but watch what happens. They won't be the bottom trips bid. Overall the negotiating team tried to fix the most complained about items. CDO's were simply part of the package. Hopefully it will go to memory ratification and you can decide yes or no. If not let your rep know how you feel.
Thanks, Sailing. And thanks for that synopsis.

Well... you know...

That's how I looked when I got assigned to fly illegals at NWA!

I kinda like the 117 mess as it is now. I've gotten lots of GS's because of it and have basically done nothing on day one of my blocks since January.

Well we now know that the company is wiling to go to 5:15 ADG. C2015 openers are not too far away. I can wait, and 5:15 should be nowhere close to the opening offer in those upcoming section 6.

Just say no to CDO.

Isn't the SSP already available to everyone on property at 9E?

Basically, only captains and captains that were given LOA. Displaced? Too bad, so sad.

I get that! That's why my criteria for allowing them here is restricted enough and paid enough that there are few of them to be only done by the senior crazies that want them.

I think they may have the pay thing down, but it's sounding like there may not be enough restrictions in creating a pile of them.

I can't remember, did I say we need to see the language?
