I keep getting an error every time I try to log in to the DALPA site. Anyone else having the same problem?

Me, too. Some kind of "runtime error." I'm hoping its because they're uploading the list!

I am sorry for my earlier incoherent rambling.
The 175LR that ****tle flies fits into the DAL PWA just fine with its MTOW of 85517 lb. The DAL PWA maxes out at 86k for RJs. The CPS RJs are "special" cause they were ordered as "AR" models which, when certified, will have a MTOW of 89,000 lb.

Being a conspiracy theorist, could it be possible that the arbitrators are on the Board of a liquor consortium? I mean, by delaying the list, think of all the extra alcohol every one is consuming. We've got Glen Fiddich, Dewars, Colt 45, Coors Light, MD20/20, you name it. These guys will certainly see a rise in consumption that is exponential to each hour delay. Insane? Is it really??

Here's to Belvedere vodka with a lemon twist. That's how I roll. Its 7:30 on the left coast and not thinking the list is coming out tonight.

Jameson's 12 Year Old Special Reserve on the rocks myself. The Irish in me needs to feel the sweet nectar of the homeland during times like this.

You know..the more I think about it, the more ticked off I get at our MEC.

Not a freaking word from them...on one of the biggest or at least most antcipated days of our careers. They couldnt even put out a quick line like the NWA MEC did?

I have to say that I am very disappointed with the DAL MEC for not providing any communication about what's going on with the list. At least NWALPA was able to send an email to its pilots.

embarrassing.

Not a conspiracy theorist but the delay could portent bad times for "Old Delta" guys. I hope we're all happy and unified in the end...but these sorts of delays don't help. I'm off on a rotation in a couple days, I hope its out by then.

I do feel that unless the MEC is going to put something out soon, there should be at least a small explanation on what the delay is so we don't start postulating our own theories. Communication is key at times like this.
