Do you guys and gals honestly think the current scope will hold strong?! I have read time and time again on this board how scope should be the strongest part of the new contract! But lets all be honest and admit that most 50+ year olds don't have anything to do with internet message boards; let alone any of these forums! I know the bottom 30% believes in this philosophy, but how about the 70% that may be willing to allow the 50 seater to be replaced by a 70+ seat RJ in order to get a large pay raise? I hope for everyone involved you guys can hold strong! I would love to have the opportunity to be a real "Delta" pilot!

A quick look at the contract comparison that was distributed recently illustrates that point sharply. The airline with the worst scope (usair) has the lowest pay of anyone. The airlines with the best scope (fedex, ups, southwest) have the highest pay.
While some may be too ignorant to see that... I'm at least educating all captains that I fly with that the FO's in those fast taxiing clown cars make as much or more than them.

How can you promise this!?!? What will most pilots honestly say if the agreement is to allow a 50 to be replaced by a 76 seater as long as you guys get a 30 percent raise! I am not saying allowing more brand new large RJ's, but what about replacing older 50's for more viable 900's!

Most do not understand that our "cash" position is not just cash in a bank, but lines of credit or other forms of available credit that if utilized, cost us interest. DAL uses some of these forms as well.
In reference to what he is stating, as we know there is a difference between operational profit and final profit. Where the "art" of accounting comes in is in how they depreciate assets, and where certain things hit on the accounting ledgers. All of course are accepted general accounting principles. Nothing nefarious, or no more so than the average company.
