We were not lucky to have no pilots furloughed. It was a carefully planned and executed strategy to over time layer in multiple financial penalties if the company were to attempt to furlough. I listened to Lee Moak talk about how to prevent furloughs right after he was elected and he detailed exactly what came to pass. Smart moves by the union prevented the furloughs not luck.
That's why I support DALPA.

The other one is to have the carrier perform less of it flying. (Outsourcing)
Therefore, everyone needs to keep their eye on the ball and not sell one ounce of scope. It is a lot easier for DAL to only train the top end well the bottom end gets handed to DCI. If that does not happen, the need here for pilots becomes great.

Cant overstress enough that progression plus pay rates makes for happy pilots.

What you are not mentioning however is how many aircraft Delta and NW had in storage. By June all stored aircraft will be back flying. This is another 40 plus airframes. In addition the flying 757 fleet was way under utilized and block hours are up on each airframe. In the end the only thing that matters to pilots is total block hours not airframes.

Sailing, that is correct. I care about block hrs, because that is what is used to staff seats, not ASM's.

For those of you that can tolerate ATT (now rated worst by Consumer Reports) FREE iPhone3GS on Friday Dec 10 ONLY
Best Buy Giving Away iPhone 3GSes To New Customers December 10th Only
Are you proud to call yourself a skinflint throwback to the antiquated ideals of Neo-Chaucerian 2009? Best Buy’s got a deal for you: a totally free iPhone 3GS.
We kid, of course. There are many reasons why you might want the last-gen iPhone at such a bargain price, if only for the mere bragging rights of it all: usually, only pickpockets, Steve Jobs and thieves can claim to have gotten an iPhone for nothing.
There are some provisos, of course.
For one, it’s a one unit per customer deal for one day only: Friday, December 10th. That said, the deal is open to new lines, additional lines and qualified upgrade customers. It’s an instant rebate deal, so you won’t have to lick an envelope or mail off a voucher. Better, Best Buy reportedly has units enough that even the most cynical warriors of their Geek Squad do not foresee a bloodbath.
Not a bad deal at all, if you don’t mind holding back a gen.

Yes, & I believe several of the 767-300's were scheduled to be chopped up so it's great news that they're coming out. Plus, as mentioned before, during the oil spike of 08 block hours on the 757 were pulled waaaay down so uping the utilization will create more 7ER openings.
