Could be a few hundred though. Maybe even "several" hundred? We'll see.

Well that sure seemed to "get it done" when the DPA thread got moved. A couple of the usual ALPA apologists raised the point that it should be in Union Talk... and voila... instantly moved! Then yesterday, a brand new thread about DPA was almost immediately moved to Union Talk... while the ALPA/JetBlue thread remained untouched.
Noted. Hopefully that process will also hold true for any threads with "union talk" advocating ALPA.

...and you ask for the jet blue thread to be moved and "VOILA" instantly moved. The jet blue thread was on here for what...a week or two? How long was the DPA thread on here? At least a month or two before it was moved. It only got moved because it started to look like a childish flightinfo or dalpa forum thread.
Being angry and yelling on a web board is no way to get support. Using the tools provided, flagging posts, notes to mods, is the way to get things done here. The mods are line pilots with schedules and family's. Maybe and email to a mod would have been more appropriate. You unfortunately sound like your arch nemesis on the dalpa forum when you start telling people they need better reading comprehension.
I do agree with you on a lot of topics. Just not your chosen delivery of the message. Keep up the pressure on Dalpa though. They need the input.

That said, You gotta love the headlines:
Soldiers' pay $2,800 in bag fees
- 34 guys traveling
- 20 guys read the DAL policy and take 3 bags
- 14 don't, have 4 bags and end up paying $200/each, but will be reimbursed by Uncle Sam.
Hmmm
Cheers

Re: Early Out
I talked to one guy with a frozen pension.
He was 59 and a new M88A; here's how he broke it down:
Every month past age 60 he works half of the month for free because that's what the pension would cover.
Had he not gotten divorced, he would have retired at 60. But with his wife getting half of the frozen pension it works out to only 1/4 of the month working for free...
Obviously on larger equipment the math would be different.

I know a lot of pilots that want in to ATL that cannot get in on the jet they want. Moving a large WB would allow these guys to VD or MD in to the jets of their choice.
Simply put, 330 moves here, 330 MSP guys MD's down to the ER, senior ER guy VD's to the ER or 765 in ATL where they previously could not have bid in to that position.

And, no, I'm not perfect. But I think I have treated people with respect a lot more than I have gotten in return.
As far as keeping the pressure on DALPA... well that seems to be a lost cause. But I'm not a quitter... so don't worry.

When does the early out close?
Isnt the conventional wisdom that the AE will come out after the early out #s are known?
Hasnt the 330 goes east and the -er goes west been the plan since the first synergistic day?
If the big bus goes to ATL, I think I will slide into it.

I recommend everyone stay away from the 330 if it comes to ATL. Hard to land in a crosswind, the control laws do wild unexpected things, sidestick is nearly impossible to master, and the tails fall off at random . . . .Much safer to stick with the Boeings
I won't hold a snowballs chance in he!! of holding it in ATL, but I can try!
