All the pretty precision picketing in the world doesn't mean squat. At least now the NWA guys, who got sold down the river by Prater in the deal, are there and can show them what it really means to shut an airline down.
I'll take an RJ driver in my right seat any day.

Thanks for the nice words. 25+ years at the LEC/MEC level and seen just about all of it. What you're reading here attacking RJ drivers and comments comparing them to Iraqi Police is the mark of people who have no clue what a union really is. Those comments are the same kind of cancer that has killed other unions. Ego, arrogance and believing your level of entitlement is determined by your uniform is what's killing ALPA now.

Also highly responsible for screwing up this industry.

As far as NWA pilots showing DAL pilots how to shut down and airline, I don't think that will be necessary with the current DAL management. Most people have no idea how absolutely venal the NWA management teams were that resulted in the pilot groups having to strike so often. Anderson and his team aren't even close to that level of anti-employee "managers."

I agree Anderson so far hasn't show his teeth like Steenland did during BK. Our major first test will come in 3 years... I hope we'll hold the line this time (or at least don't get trampled)

Got called with an IA to GRU this morning. They called past the original report time with the offer which I thought was interesting, but I'm not available. Too bad, it would have been a nice addition to the paycheck. Seems the weather in NY is really messing with the schedule. It's days like this that make me glad I'm not a scheduler.

Ditto for me too, but I'm home in NC. Besides, they canceled all the morning flights here, anyway.

I'm a big NQ. 
I saw some greenslipping this morning for NYC ER but I think ATL MD88 takes the cake with 50 trips on the trip coverage page for 3/1.

Anybody like how crew scheduling wasn't available to be contacted from around midnight last night all the way past 0630 this morning?
So... had to relay a sick call through crew tracking. Fantastic.
