Wouldn't that be fun to see? I've been doing google searches but nothing close and I doubt there will be. However, is Skywest puts out a report I'd love to see that thing.

I'm not throwing rocks at you... but I guess people just don't want to be surprised anymore.. sad.

How did TCU do yesterday?

In the replay of the conference, you can hear him talking about slides, so there is a presentation. On other webcasts, Delta has included the Powerpoint in the webcast. It would be interesting, I agree.

If you find it e-mail it to me. I love finding the data behind the data, and I am sure there is some.

Go to the Investor Relations portion of Delta.com. It's in the SEC filings.

CROT Disappoints Again

Just read the latest Blue Water...

The A330 crew rest facility negotiations, that we supposedly withdrew from, started up again in October. Never heard that mentioned to any of the line pilots on the 330 so there could be feedback.

The new agreement was reached and, voila, SSDD. The permanent facility will be in bulk under the main deck and the rear lavs and the rear galley and near the APU. Same location we complained about on the previous agreement. Can't wait to hit turbulence in that facility or be called to return to the flight deck ASAP.

The only improvement was the Interim Facility which, sadly, sounds like a better solution than the permanent facility. Better for the pilots that is, because it removes a portion of 2 rows of coach seats.

This is what happens when they have negotiations on the QT with no line pilot input in advance. Last time around only 1 of the 3 members of the CROT was qualified on the airplane. The letter did not say if the composition of the CROT committee was the same or not, but the whoever the 330 pilot was should be fired from the CROT.

So much for transparency.

End rant.

Heyas,

Shrinking pilot group, shrinking airline.

As an APC sage once said "watch their feet..."

Add up the airframes and the pilots and watch the trend vector. It's not looking like bright skies ahead.

What I do see is a bunch of frogs (on flight pay loss, no less) sitting in a pot where it's getting warmer every day, and pretending that they're in a Jacuzzi.

Don't **** on me and tell me it's raining. Some of us are smarter than that.

Easiest way to test MEC's scope resolve.

At an LEC meeting submit resolution that says, all domestic flying with Delta code in an aircraft with "Delta" on the paint job and sold by Delta Airlines will be done by a DAL seniority list pilot. Additionally direct LEC reps to request recorded vote on ALL actions taken on said agenda item.

I have not included international because the current thread addresses holes in domestic scope wrt RJ's.

Send that resolution to an MEC meeting (if it passes at LEC meeting).

If it fails, you have your answer.
If it is "RECEIVED", you have your answer.
If it is TABLED you have your answer.
If it is WITHDRAWN you have a bone to pick with your LEC reps and you have your answer.

If it is EXPUNGED you have your answer.

If it passes be happy with a caveat of doveryai, no proveryai (google it with Ronald Reagan)

George, you've talked to all the key players. You've even "shopped" for a different answer among reps that weren't at the table. Sinkr8 has it right. I understand you don't like the answer. That doesn't change the facts.

Oh, your parting comment was a cheap shot, in my view.

Exactly correct.
