Fact is that for many years here at DAL the language did not need to be perfectly spelled out. DAL88 and I went back and forth on this about the DCI paint livery. The reality is there was no need, but the world has changed, and we need to start making the language a lot tighter. When have been shown that the way we used to do business leaves to much room for legal maneuvering. That is the environment we live in.

And to stir another pot.. what is the thinking about the payrates on the 737-900ER airframe? Since we gave away 3.b.6, we have no leverage on an airframe that the company ordered without our consultation. More good lawyering for ya....

I should be sailing today, but I've got to take the wife to SRQ for a flight to the ATL to pick up the twins from the AU, so I'll be single tonight. Too bad there's not a game on!
You should get out there today, looks like good wind from the south east.

Hmmmmm.. then by your own admission, he was right about the language. When CE Woolman died, the handshake went with him. It's all about lawyers, language, and contracts. Sad but true. I don't want any more TBD language. No more language that states "The company will make every effort..." No more of that CRAP. Tell the negotiators to not bring us that junk anymore.

Yes, a handshake is sadly very insufficient in this business.

3.b.6 went away after the 777s (or 737-800s?) came on board. I don't remember the exact timing, but it was another incredibly S T U P I D thing the association did.. "The company will never order another airplane until the payrates have been established" is how it was sold.

The Jan 1-4 days will apply to your RAW score for Jan (how the hell skeds figures out a raw score is a mystery). Since Jan 4th was a "X" day, call crew skeds and the two of you determine when you get it back. Or, they may have already placed it on your schedule.
