Super that is by default when you are getting ready to convert. Let them do their job.

I've got vacation in march so if I can get another free vacation in April I'd be stoked
As ACL said, I wouldn't bother calling the CP. You're not qualified on it yet and they know about that already. Starting on 1 April you will be off until you start training on the 320.

How about some juicy rumors? Does anyone have anything? From NATCO or Virginia Ave? I am hungry for some Delta news.

Thanks Shiz.
I agree with/enjoy your posts also. Thanks for the info on the books, I'll check it out. Thanks.

I suggest that the middle is defined by those on the margins. If you can shift the debate ever so slightly in your favor, you can capture some of the middle.

I don't know that I'm willing to go to war to recapture scope. If we do want to recapture, I'm fine with doing it gradually, as old agreements expire. I'm fine with paying a mainline RJ captain less than a -400 FO, if that's what it takes. And I'm fine with 76-seaters staying offline in return for a nice raise.

I am, however, willing to go to war to draw the line there. 100-seaters are substantial airplanes that belong on mainline.

Frank;
The question becomes do we draw the line and fight at 100 seats or fight at 76 seats to keep the fire away from the 100 seat platform. All questions to ask yourself and your mate when you are cruising along.

What you have posted proves what I have been saying about the generalities of this group. Most are willing to fight for scope, but fight for status quo and no more concessions.

It's my understanding that they have to park them all because they do not know how to write schedules for flying the beast. Really really really ugly bid results for march!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Lots of guys on reserve because of way to many 11 day trips no one could fit on schedules. Hoping for better luck next month.
