But I'm also hearing a tone of resignation. Don't give up. This career can still be restored. It won't be easy... but nothing worthwhile ever is. We need to set restoration as our objective and then set out to achieve it with an unwavering commitment and resolve. Are you starting to figure out that the current predominant thinking in DALPA is not going down that road?
An upcoming large number of retirements, increased minimums for airline First Officers and a weak regional industry... time is right. This is the time to get it back. We still have time.
I don't care wether it's ALPA or DPA representing us. But we need someone who will fight for us. ALPA is on very thin ice. Last year we had an opportunity to increase hiring minimums to 1500hrs for airline pilots cross the country. ALPA sided with RAA to bring the minimums down to 500hrs+. (CAPA supported a hard 1500hr floor). CAPA is getting ready to challenge the RLA. For ALPA, that is not a priority.
So this is ALPA's chance to redeem themselves to an extent. We lost some opportunities. If ALPA does not deliver this time, this will be their demise. Once 12,000 pilots from DAL leaves, it will fall like a deck of cards with UCAL likely exiting as well. We need strong leadership from DALPA... and we need to see it quick. We also need to see a change in direction, transparency and strategy from them. We need to know that they are fighting for us without a shadow of doubt. Once that is done, we can unite this pilot group and move forward.

Halter probably got a better offer somewhere else. CFO's come and go all the time. The new guy is a home grown type. Hired when he was 25 as an analyst at DL, in 1997. That makes him 40 now, about the same seniority as a DL 767 FO. In 2011, his predecessor made 2.25 Million total compensation. Have a nice day
Oh wait...

if I am MSP based, and start training in MSP for my next position which is not in MSP, do I get per diem the whole time, or not because MSP is my previous base? When do they send you hotel accommodations? thanks

AF/KLM 737 pilots
I fly the B737 for a US major airline, wanting to get realistic numbers on salary/take home pay for KLM and AF 737 pilots. Never seem to get a clear view of how our contracts differ in these terms.
Please PM
Thanks

If it's Delta you fly for, the guys at your MEC should have all the information you're looking for.

Look, I am willing to give ALPA one more chance, and then it is time to move over. One more TA, and then if it isn't satisfactory, then I will stump for the donuts until ALPA is gone and short $35 million per year from our dues. You and Sailing have to remember that we now make over $900 million per year in extra fees like bag fees (SW doesn't have that advantage Sailing...) plus starting in 2013 about $500 million less interest payments per year when the debt gets to $10 billion. What does that mean? Big raise, not managing expectations. It's the cost of doing
business. Say it with me....... And, did you call someone an a$$wipe? Really?

I agree with the cost of doing business part of your post, however, where we disagree is that all that profit will come to us...

Shhhh. It's secret information. The MEC can't give it out. School's out and I have to go pick up the kids. Bottle of Scotch FedEx'd to whoever can post the details of AF amnd KLM's current pilot contract first. Specifically pay and benefits and any applicable work rules. Let the game begin.
