So the one of the APA bases put out an email that the company offered Delta+5% with no profit sharing as their final offer.

Oh and that includes 81 seat scope relief.

And the APA's current position to expedite things is no memory rat... only base rep votes.

So they've got that going for them... and that's nice.

It certainly was a bittersweet experience. Although it only took 17 minutes for us to reach FL415 (we had a block altitude of 41 to 43)

After arrival the staff was kind enough to give us a tour but it was like watching a loved one being taken away.

Sad indeed!!!

Fly safe,

OC

So sad to see those beautiful ladies go so soon.

A photographer captured my dad on his retirement trip leaving JFK in 6316 back in 2004. I was sitting right behind in the jumpseat, and my mom in the first row in the upper deck. Those planes will always have a very special place with myself and my family.

She's sure a beauty and flies even better. I'll bet your dad says it's the nicest hand flying airplane he's ever flown. I know it is for me.

Hoped I'd never see this day come.

Beautiful picture ... nice story.

Does getting to fly it briefly at age 8 count for anything?

81 seat scope?

Hats look good when they are lined up a couple thousand deep on a picket line.

Just kidding... count it!

The thumbs down is for the 81 seat scope. I know of people that have spoken with the APA leads, and they are actively considering it. Even worse they want to "speed things along," so would prefer not to do memory rat. Hopefully word gets out and that gets shot down like the CDOs.

81 seats can be the larger MRJ in dual class. Skywest has 100 on order?

There is a new A/E posted, whole bunch of F/O's but also another 10 777A's into ATL (finally going to replace the 20 who have left).

Hopefully that will cause some upward movement on down the list, but only if they backfill all the positions that bid up.
