I think hes saying there will be more first class seats.
I dont want to speak for him so maybe he can confirm, but what I think he was saying is if delta is forced to pull down 76 seaters they will just remove coach seats and add more first class.
Current config is 12 first 64 coach.
70 seat config would be something like 16 first 54 coach.

I think you're right. I need to stop waking up at 0330!

As a Compass (Relatively) New Hire, I just wondered what the general feeling about the flow is with the delta pilots. Obviously everyone I know on this side of the fence is all for keeping it intact but just wondered what the consensus was on the other side. Thanks guys

All I will say is that the rank and file may not have all of the facts.
This is a job for the MEC and it is a difficult one. As they have stated they will meet on Tuesday to discuss this issue. IMHO, it says something that they are paying for trip drops and lodging for everyone to fly to ATL. That alone makes it a big issue to them.

I'm confident the union knows how the pilot group feels about the issue. I don't know all the facts because I'm sure it's NDA info. Let's hope we have home field advantage on this one. The language seems clear, but that doesn't seem to guarantee anything.

Johnso, there are things like intent, the negotiator's notes, etc that come in to play with interpretation. Suffice to say there are a lot of parts of this issue that are all over the place in the PWA and the LOA's. Some language is more restrictive some less. It is not my job or your job to determine it.
I have talked to my reps, let my opinion be known, and in the end that is all I can do. It is now in their hands. Time will tell, but it is a ugly issue with far reaching implications.
