Have they already secretly been bought and paid for like the MD-90's we've owned for three years but haven't seen? The only new airplanes Delta is getting are CRJ-900's and E-jets.
Sorry to disappoint General, I know how much you would be disappointed if "just" NWA guys would be affected by the parking of aircraft. The last NWA APA (placement award) will be in August and then the next one will be after the combined SOC. (per a memo from the joint transition team) NWA is approx 200 short for summer and 250-400 short for the trip rig transition. 180 or so ANC guys will not cause any furloughs from the "NWA" side.
RA knows that this would cause HUGE animosity, thus the pain will be shared, guaranteed.
Add on the fact that the A330 fleet guys are saying we may see 10 more quickly.......
Gen. As of right now they do not want to have either side furlough prior to SOC.
Fact is that even if THEY are overstaffed, WE will not be after SOC. Like it or not our MEC and company will let all of take the licks if need be.
That's not an overwhelming shock to the system, particularly when much of the impact of the displacements will probably be absorbed by moving the fNWA pilots to DAL manning formulas at a measured pace.
Maybe instead of bidding DTW as a base, some of those senior 742 Captains will just retire and stay up there in AK and fish and relax.
