When that happens to me, the Captain and I agree, THIS MERGER SUCKED FOR THE PILOTS, MANAGEMENT IS KILLING US WITH ALL OF THIS OUTSOURCING ... now lets go to the bar on the beach side and grab a beer before the put away all the free stuff ... hey'd you see that woman on the elevator ... she and her friends are at the pool.
There's always something to agree on.
What's worse is the "Delta's outsourcing is good for us, we need Delta to make money, lets duty in 30 minutes early and play stump the dummy trivia for five hours from the FOM VOLII and ARM errata"
Que one of the D-ALPA Trinity (ALPA, Sailing and the holy Slow) to tell us we held the 767 "out of seniority", that DTW and MSP are good for us since it creates a junior category as everyone not frozen (literally, or contractually) bids Atlanta.

Best I can tell, the JV is a "good faith" agreement, the compliance provisions are so loose that Air France / Alitalia are currently well over 50% and nothing can be done about it until mid 2015. ALPA responds truthfully, "management is not out of compliance."
I like the idea of the capacity sharing / productivity sharing. No one has told me why we expanded the look back to three years. One year (12 months) was sufficient to allow for seasonal variation.
I expect the deal will be modified several times before we ever reach the point where it could be grieved. So, management can do what ever they want to do.

Try looking at already holding a line on a wide body, when you bid it, in seniority, in your home town and being displaced down three categories since then. From status quo this merger has already cost Delta's early 07 hires about $60,000 each (offset by the stock). They got nothing like STATUS QUO. They were slotted in behind smaller jets in northern bases and guys on furlough. As those DC9's went away and routes were shifted towards cities that actually had growing O&D markets the results were inevitable.
What would have made this palatable is if growth & retirements took the pain out. That isn't happening (and that's Delta, managed by Northwest's, fault, not yours or mine ... we've done our jobs well)
Hey look, you & I agree. This merger really, truly, sucked. There is absolutely nothing either of us can do about it, but quit (which is an option I consider carefully with every displacement bid). Until we either find other jobs that are better, or this job gets better, everyone has the same reaction to my beeyatching & your offense ... "Jimmy Crack corn and .... ."
So you like Bud Light, Stella, Craft Beers, wine of just checking out the girls? See ya' in 15. Rant over.

What happens to make them not work? Lots of feedback/squeal?
I've found 3 or 4 737's that do that as well with the 850's. On those, I've just worn the headset, and used the hand mic when necessary.
Anything to avoid the dreaded single-cup DC headclamp.
