Has the proposed JFK-BOM flight been axed? If so what is the plan for all the 777LR's, ATL-MCO!

It is not a proposed flight. They are moving the ATL-BOM service back to JFK, again......

So when do we start? Let's get a few heads together and come up with something that will benefit the pilots, all other employees, our shareholders as well as the company, instead of the "I am a big union and we have power" scenario. Like most, I do NOT want DAL to go down the alley a few other airlines are exploring right now, I do NOT want a scab in the same company I work for, I do NOT want a single DAL flight to operate without DAL pilots onboard. Think about the marketing value alone...
I am ready when you are.

Sorry, but I disagree comletely with the senior pilots statement. What percentage of the overall group would the "senior" pilots comprise...everyone is off of probation...everyone gets to vote. When you look at the percentage of pilots that vote in any election, now that's disgusting. If you don't vote, you can't complain.
Yes, pilots will say what do I have to give up.. they do and everyone needs to look at the complete package that is being offered.
This board offers the same examples of what do I have to give up, "Call in Honest" and the Jump Seat Program...it worked in a comparable sized group up North, so it should work for the new company, but "what do I have to give up comes up again."

If this company is half as profitable as management has stated, we should expect significant gains in every section of the PWA come 2012.

Just some food for thought. How is ALPA going to handle the upcoming battle of cabatoge by foreign airlines that it represents through IFALPA? Are those foreign airlines going to join up with the RJDC guys and sue because ALPA is fighting against cabatoge which will cost those airlines members jobs?

kneejerk response but as fine a post as i ve ever read at apc
ie collaborative not combative organizations
a max/min problem of how to maximize employee income capabilities while minimizing the odds of bankrupting the company
and quite possibily an unsolvable puzzle but one does stagger forward hopefully ...

If you check Deltanet it shows the flight as negative availibility on Nov 4-5-6-7. I also checked avail for Dec and can't get any city pair avail past Nov 30. Is there a huge schedule change coming on Dec 1st?
