Jack,
I agree with this. Seems like it happens with some stuff every contract. That being said, it'll happen in a contract 5 years from now too.......

Not a contract question because I don't think these have any business being a part of our TA, but if we were to take delivery of 717s and/or additional A319s, where would they be based?
My guess is ATL and NYC.
717s replace the 9 in ATL and increase lift to some shorter stage length LGA markets. The 319s make up for the longer segments the 717 can't cover. Perhaps we'll see entertainment systems on newly acquired 319s.
I'm just hoping to bid out of NYC, but this doesn't seem to promising

I know, not likely we will do that.

As far as I am concerned the ALPA lawyers we have used need to be immediately fired as they have proven their worth (worthless!). The company has smarter, more astute lawyers in their court.
The company and it's legal team school ALPA/us every single time. We need to change things up if we don't want to be scratching our heads in six months or six years wondering how so many little details that jack our pay/qol/career progression slipped through the cracks.

I think if you look at any contract you have to take it from a very fundamental level. No MAY no SHALL no TO THE EXTENT POSSIBLE. Only the company WILL and the pilot WILL.
Even though a law dictionary finds SHALL to be imperative it's not as concrete as WILL. I figure it's easier to get a clear intent through negotiations and a good Contract Administrator can easily add "Or Else" to the end.

DTW as a 73 base could happen at some point within the next 2 years. DL has way too many 73 bases for the size of the fleet as it is to justify opening up another one anywhere. But I think as the 100 additional 737's come on line DTW will see a 73 base as well as either a 717 base or a rebuilding of the 320 base that was canibalized to fund shifting the Roosevelt hotel bill from the company to the pilots.
