From the SLI Proposal:
"2. The date of constructive notice was April 14, 2008"
There's that pesky phrase. My guess is that your 777 orders were made after this date.

I don't know if this was a direct quote or spin but if it holds true, it is a huge warning shot.
Not without a dynamic list to account for attrition. Again, this would be an absolute windfall for DALPA. If the DAL has the significant attrition you say it does, the dynamic concept shouldn't bother you.

"Try to think of both NWA and DAL guys that have been furloughed and have had to endure more than you have before you start throwing up the white flag."
Are the furloughed NWA people now going to be given longevity credit for time previously spent on furlough?
I believe so.
Bye Bye--General Lee
I have heard the same, that 30 DC9's would be pulled from the desert.
As far as the statement about the 787 not being on the DAL property, ugh....general, you know better than to back up here-say.
I'll believe it when I see it on paper.

With all due respect, DAL is big in the Atlantic market from Pan Am, not from Delta. Delta snowballed PAA and assimilated the Atlantic operation while assigning the PAA pilots a seniority something like 1 for 11 until they got to zero and kept going so that Delta hired on top of the most junior PAA pilot. Certainly not fair or even remotely towards the middle as you suggested the kind DAL ALPA was/is.
There were Pan Am guys that were initially put below future Delta newhires. However this was done at the request of the PAA MEC. Why would they do this? Because they were not pilots they were engineers and not part of ALPA. The engineers union tried to do an end run around PAA ALPA to get a more favorable integration for themselves. At any rate it was corrected once everyone was on the property here at Delta
We all know that PAA was smaller than DAL,...kind of leaves a bad taste in ones mouth.
We also all know that the pilots that came to Delta from PAA keep flying while those who stayed at PAA eventually saw they job disappear. This has no bearing on what is happening today.
NWA might be a little bit smaller, but NWA is financially stronger making more profit from every dollar spent. We'll show yalls how,...just watch...
There are still ~92 DC-9's on the property as we speak, with plans for 64 by years end. Where the hell to you come up with 41?
Also persistent rumors of increasing the numbers of DC9's by up to 30 as fuel prices drop. The ones that are parked are in "hot" storage and can be back on line in very short order.
41 was the final number of -40s/-50s. After you get rid of all of the -30s, you would have 41 of the larger versions left. It would be great if you did keep more DC9s, but just like our MD90 rumor, it is all speculation. What we do have to go by now is what your current CEO has stated, which is closer to the 63 or 41 numbers.
...even "ever ready energizer bunnie" DC-9s are still just small gauge DC-9s.
