Not nearly as many. Management likely would have went a different direction with the 717s just like AA and UAL have with no SNB aircraft. They don't have nearly the same hiring numbers DAL has.

Also, negotiation is about give and take. No Union Negotiator will get to a table bang their fist on the table and get everything they ask for and give nothing in return.

There will be concessions on C2015. Obviously there will likely be more gains then concessions.

Because I stated a fact? i can assure you that I have not had a single conversation with management about anything I post here. If you can show otherwise I will send 10,000 dollars to the charity of your choice in your name!
You are a one trick pony. Anyone who disagrees with you is either a union or management plant. Oh wait, two trick pony, you like to insult wives also! I think that aspect really said a lot about you.

Yet we made no changes in desired staffing numbers. If you look at the monthly news letters showing block hours it's all out there to see.

Has anyone ever heard of a new Chick-fil-A opening causing a major traffic problem for over 3 weeks!?! Well it's happening in my neck of the woods. There are cones out on the road to funnel traffic. The drive tru line is still reaching unheard of lengths (16 to 30 cars!). OMG, it's a freakin' fast food place that uses chicken!

Pinchanickel has picked up their game, the 900 is a nice ride.

Wow. HIGHLY debatable. No offense but you weren't here when that happened. it's a little rediculous to believe that the 717 deal hinged entirely on pilot negotiations. We're not as important as we often think and it was a well played move that appealed to both pilot egos and pilot fears.

Wait. Trip7 wasn't even here for C12?

Good for Richard. He is doing phenomenal job and I hope he keeps it up. I have no problem with him getting a 22% raise.

as long as we get 22% over 2015 rates in C2015.
