Delta TA Passes

[ATLplt]

Enjoy your SW stagnation, and staple. Maybe by the time you retire, you'll be off reserve!

Actually, I'm young. I'll still retire in the top 20 at SWA, but thanks for your concern!

The post was a lighthearted joke. Take it as such and go enjoy life...and all the free Hyatt Place pens you'll find.

...the pilots seat.

Oh, you're one of THOSE Captains. You deserve a 5th stripe, and a promotion to "Rear" Admiral. It'll further upscale your precious position from your peasant underling, the FO.

But enough about that, how's your stagnation going? How many AirTran guys are ahead of you? Good for them.

Genital,

Actually, I'm glad you asked. I'm knocking it out of the park this summer. The savings account is filling up nicely...thanks for asking. And at pay rates you guys still hope to get.

Scoot,

Same thing. Thanks for asking. I've been off reserve for over three years and I just got another 15/hr pay raise. I'm glad the AAI guys are coming over with possiblity of making even MORE profit sharing for all of us. You see, we have no cap on that. If it comes in at 10%, 15%, whatever. And that's on top of 9.3% company match. It's June 29th and I've already maxed out my portion of 17k.

How are you doing?

I have to completely agree with ATLplt here, we together will be better off now that the 717 and the engine problems are headed over to DL. Good luck with that. Welcome aboard ATLplt.

Why would I be bitter? I doing pretty well (see above) Just glad I don't have to wait for takeoff behind a long line of RJs that someone else flies for us. Thank God. That would drive me crazy.

IDIOTS!!!! Thanks for screwing over the rest of the industry.

Sincerely,
A UCAL pilot

Yep, you are right. You guys are the gold standard and we should watch everything you do. What a great example of how to get along as a pilot group.

I'm tired of guys like you quipping in from the sidelines. When you raise the bar on your own maybe then you can chime in about pilots at another airline. If we did it your way, we would still be embroiled in contract negotiations, not to mention a bloody SLI negotiation. Again, when you fix all that, come on back and chime in.

In the meantime, when you get your facts straight and educate yourself with what we actually got in this TA, maybe you will change your tune.

I voted no. I feel like the union scared a lot of people into voting yes. I also have a feeling they'll come back to us in 3 years saying they'll get rid of the remaining 50 seaters if we will allow 90 seaters at the regionals-oh and we'll get 10 new 777's at mainline. works every time. aside from the scope I was very disappointed in the work rule changes.

Is that what happened in the joint contract with NWA? This TA was voted in because it was a good deal for a 3 year contract, that dumped more than 200 50 seat RJs leaving us with a total of 148 fewer RJs overall, and it added 88 717s. With the other guys like AA and UCAL not having their %#£* together, it was a pretty good jump upwards, leaving those other guys still way behind.

yes, well, the bigger RJ's we just caved on will prolong the regionals' existence. dont get mad next time you see a bunch of RJ's in the money line in ATL. like I said, scope was a big thing for me, but bigger than that were the work rule concessions. we aren't in bankruptcy here.

 

[WWEfan]

It just cracks me up to listen to Genital Lee's tripe about how it was ok to cave on scope this time. After all his rhetoric about standing firm on scope he sold out quicker than a Thai hooker.
