Scambo,
There are a few good stories from the guys on bypass.

I know a few that went to med school, a few that went to law school, and a few that were or are Captains at Jet Blue and or Airtran.

They were way more productive than I would be!

Heard a good one today, the company is sniffing around asking if we would take a 45% pay increase for 100 seat scope.

Anyone else hear this one?

Ummmm........NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! But we will take a 70% payraise so that they can give back what was our pay pre BK. Last time I checked DAL wasn't BK.

If they want 100 seaters they'll be flown by pilots on the DAL seniority list.

How about we take the 45% raise AND the 100 seat AND the 70 seat flying.

I like that rumor better....

If they can afford a 45% bump in pay for 12200 pilots for a 100 seat jet, they can afford to fly it here.

Like I said, I would not get too spun up about this rumor. I do not think the reps would sign off on it.

What I heard was, the 747 guys were willing to give up on the fight for "modern IT".

These rumor's are fun, aren't they?

Make no mistake. The company will pull this crap if we show the slightest inclination in taking the bait. Hell, RAH already has them on the way. In their eyes it's almost a foregone conclusion that they'll be able to operate them in delta colors.

I'm sick of seeing 175's and -900's everywhere we go, and being the ONLY mainline airplane on the ground. Think of career progression/stagnation/backslide if you are even CONSIDERING this to be a good deal.

LM, I know you're gunning for ALPA president this fall, but do not pull this crap on your OWN pilots!

Btw, I'm against any scope sales if anyone was wondering
