22D2 staffing report
I am kind of confused by this. Is this minimum pilot count by category/seat that is required contractually? Is it safe to assume there will be slightly more in each category than the minimum required?
Thanks
Thanks

As you were not on the MEC at the time, you have no way to know whether the first statement is true. And you have no way of knowing whether your last statement is true, either.

Give Mike Hanson a call and report back to us on whether or not you think we will reduce profit sharing. Or you can continue to live in dream world.
I suppose you were one of the many who said I was full of crap on C2012 when I said we were going to allow many more 76 seat RJs.
I hope more than anything to be wrong. Remember, the reps are flying the line. Just like last time, it is the admin insiders who make the concessions.
In C2012 the MEC never authorized or discussed reducing profit sharing. O'Malley agreed to it without MEC knowledge and it was jammed down their throats. Same plan this time.

There are less RJ aircraft, less RJ seats being flown, less RJ pilots, less Delta passengers being deceived about who is flying their aircraft. Those are facts of C2012. An RJ seat is an RJ seat no matter if it is a 50 or 76 seater. The economics and staffing will further reduce the numbers. Just sayin.

And fwiw, what is jet A prices today? $2.42/gal? It's a four year low and far below the $3.20+ that it was when C2012 was being negotiated and Delta was focusing on getting more 76 seaters.
DCI has not been vanquished, they're still here. Hopefully they find more chicken bones to choke on and the 717s that were coming anyways finish them off. Then maybe Delta takes at least the small jet flying back to the big house.

The trend is our friend in this case. Short sighted to just focus on current fuel prices because we know they will go back up and put us back in a position bargain with a new set of economics. Less RJs are good! Even less is far better. Hopefully C2015 will be even less without a need to give anything up. Not likely. Giving up the RJ will cost us. How much do we want to give up is the question to get it back?

Of course, the MEC was then handed the T/A with the profit sharing reduction and our MEC Chairman was quoted as stating: “The T/A should not be judged compared to the pilots aspirations as reflected in the contract survey…there is no context to their wishes”
The same background players are still prominent in the MEC Administration.
