I am pretty sure its their payrates coupled with their work rules that get them their w-2s.

I would like our management to be more like SW, but I want SWAPA's contract. Especially their scope. You're OK working for a management team that outsources us to the maximum extent possible, but many of us are not.

HA! I didn't know that ATL even had de-ice trucks. I am sure that will be a cluster *******. Real snow or just flurries?

Plus SWAPA's scope. Fixed your post!

There's a hint of snow in the North Georgia mountains tomorrow night.

Calling for light stuff. I can't imagine the ground is cold enough for much to accumulate. Although doesn't take much for ATL to grind to a halt--they do have trucks, just not enough pads to put the aircraft in.

Easy, end of the month, possibly weather, and since many have not flown, they will burn SC's because they can.

The NMB just tossed out another "interference" claim.
This time its the Tech Ops guys and their vote against the IAM..

Delta Air Lines wins another dispute over union elections - Minneapolis / St. Paul Business Journal

Probably gonna be a clean sweep.
The unions are going to lose all these protests since they were all based on the same conduct.

Pilots and Dispatchers will be the only unions at Delta.
Considering the NWA history, Richard Anderson has got to be on cloud nine.

Carl;
The point was that he has been talking about a particular rep making these statements and I wanted him to admit that this person did not get reelected. Ergo, the person he had an issue with did not get to keep his seat.
