Or the LGA slot swap, almost comical at how long this has taken?
Still amazes me that SWA/AAI were able to get their merger approved in a fraction of the time it has taken us to finalize our deal with airways.
Not that I should care anyway, guessing most of the flying will be going to our regional partners. Eh, one more thing for ALPA to ignore I guess.

I've made the phone call about this. It seems that annually DAL provides this number to DALPA. At that point, because they are so special certain levels of "volunteers" are given an additional 5 hours. Then, a special monthly bonus of $1,000 or $1,500 is added to the total. (That's to help pay for a yard man or any additional workers to take care of the chores while they are away from home. This part was a direct quote from KR. He even delivered it with a straight face.)
After looking over the FPL report, I have had a change of thought regarding my LEC reps. It seems that they aren't getting any sort of special deal. It looks to me that they may even be getting a pretty stinky deal for all their trouble. But, the permanent volunteers, that's a whole nother story.

SWA certainly does some things better than DAL. That being said, DAL can't run 777's, 747's, 767 ER's etc. with three flight attendants. The staffing needs of the two airlines are completely different.

Does anyone else notice when slowplay gets painted into a corner, he disappears, then pineappleguy will start posting, and when pinnapple gets in a tight spot he disappears then alfaromero starts posting, then, sailingfun, then back to slow......
I'm going to start calling them the Four Horsemen, but I really think its just one horse running around in a circle, really, really fast.
I'm tellin' ya. They are the same person!!

Carl's translation services, Inc.
Now for the rest of thread who probably doesn't remember the context of this question in the first place, it was slowplay's desire to minimize the difference between SWA's pay and ours. One of his arguments was how much more SWA pilots have to work in order to get their $230,000 per year, so he pulled the 87 hours per month average out to attempt to show that our lower pay rates were not telling the whole story. But the story is what it is. SWA captains average $230,000 per year and average 18 days per month off...Delta captains do not.
Oh don't be that way slowplay. I've given you these free translation services and this is how you treat me?

NEW DELHI — Air India pilots demanding more pay are on strike for a fifth day in defiance of a court order to return to work and spare the airline from further losses.
Passenger jets from Air India, India's national carrier, that were meant to be flying international routes sit idle at gates, at Indira Gandhi International Airport in New Delhi, India, Friday, April 29, 2011. The strike by one of the carriers pilots' union entered the third day leading to cancellation of dozens of flights including several international ones, according to local news reports.

The strike has forced India's national carrier to stop taking new bookings and to cancel all but 40 of its scheduled 165 flights Sunday. It has forced after similar cancelations each day since the strike started Wednesday.
The airline is also coping by hiring chartered flights for some routes. It says the action is now costing around 12 million rupees ($2.67 million) a day.
The Delhi High Court had ordered the 800 striking pilots last week to call off their "brazen" strike. It launched contempt of court proceedings Saturday when the pilots refused to go back to work.
