DAL Pilots to Picket in MSP and DTW

[FlyingSig]

Fair enough, What is fair then in regards to SLI? I think its great DALALPA is fighting for you guys, as they should. However the tactic of running to mgmt to try and undermine the NWA guys is only dipping into mgmts pockets. They are not on yours or my side. NWA ALPA is/was always attempting to work with DALALPA directly, maybe not agreeing but trying none the less.

I don't see it as running to management at all. I see it as if NWA ALPA is willing to fall on it's sword in it's attempted senority grab then I fully expect DALPA to do as promised and get me an equity stake in the new company if managment is going to go through with this anyway. You guys will get what you've been chest thumping over... the SLI will go to arbitration (in a year or two). In the meantime, we'll have a voting seat on the board.

Which they will reap the rewards of in two to three years, get the pay and seniority that they feel they deserve and in the end laugh at us.
There is a lot more to this "rumor" than meets the eye. If I were at NWA I would be calling my LEC reps and telling them to get this thing done now.

In two or three years their position in an arbitration will be overcome by events. Delta's going to take the legs out from under their position if these rumors are true.

No kidding. I think the Delta MEC has the book with the launch codes out and is performing excercises to simulate a full scale attack. Or maybe I'm just bored on reserve and whipped into a frenzy with web board rumors

What if they don't have one? What if Delta owns the code as part of the transaction?

I'm thinking any rational player has to fold with three deuces and a pair of 9's at this point.

They have their own contract with its protections in the event of an acquisition, their own code and their own management team. They are not damsels in distress in need of rescue or special dispensation.

Not really if we merge our mgmt would be your mgmt, but what we really need to be worried about is DALALPA relaxing scope. Rumor i am hearing is you guys were debating on giving up 100 seaters to the regionals. I hope its not true and you guys learned your lesson during the first Industry scope F-UP!

I did and they said that Moak is begging the NWAMEC to give up the seniority, careers and scope of the NWA pilots.

They, however, were not surprised by this apparent "negotiate thru the media" tactic that has been performed. Basically, Anderson says jump and the Delta pilots fall over themselves to do it. Simple people down south you know.

We haven't merged and neither have you. You have your contractual language protecting you in the event of a merger and we have ours. We each had different priorities and strategies in forming our respective contracts, so there are differences in levels of protections.

We'll see what scope is relaxed.

Rumors are just rumors.

Tell us more on these rumors. We have not heard them yet.

My concern is the same as yours. You can bet that if D-ALPA would sell their flying, they'd sell yours too.

Politically there would be hell to pay. But, we are coming full circle to our scope rants posted hours ago.

 

[FDJ2]

Simple people down south you know.

In which case you have absolutely nothing to worry about.

Wow, you guys are going to get along well!!....

My thoughts exactly!

I also thought that ALPA 'Merger Policy' was suppose to take care of all of this; isn't that what you have a union and merger policy for??

For what its worth!
