SCOPE at DELTA

PCL_128 just illustrated why our union needs to do everything possible to get the large RJs onto mainline property instead of trying to tell us how much revenue they are putting into our pockets.

I seriously almost laughed when my rep was describing to me the "revenue" they are putting into my pockets.... there lies the current problem right there.

You've gotta be kidding me. Which rep said that? (email if you'd prefer not to say publicly) Have these guys still not learned their lessons after 25 years of scope erosion?

And PCL suppports ALPA.

RJDC---ALPA supports Regionals but supports Majors?

ALPA and all their resources and still can't get it right? Prater " we are taking it back"= JOKE !

That would be exact phrase that came to my mind... hopefully the former NWA guys can help us put some sense into them.

Well, one of the EVPs is Captain Ray Miller, former Council 20 Chairman. Ray was adamantly opposed to the concessionary TA, because he didn't even like the creation of Compass in the first place. He was standing strong on not giving up a single seat of scope. Unfortunately, Council 20 was vastly outnumbered. I would imagine that the current Council 20 reps are probably still of like mind, also, but again, they're heavily outnumbered on a 30+ member MEC. Maybe those few voices can sway some opinions.

I have been stuck at the regionals for 8 years. I would love to work for mainline but for some reason our industry hasn't allowed it. IS that my fault?

I don't know if it is or not. As I wasn't referring to you or regional pilots in general. I flew for the regionals for ten years. Maybe you didn't read the ten times I specifically referenced Joe and was specifically speaking to him. You must have missed his 4600 anti-major posts hear on the major forum. Some how after five references to Joe you thought I was speaking generally. HE (that is JOE not you) has said all these years he wasn't stuck it was his CHOICE. Since that is a choice, it again wouldn't apply to you.

Yes it is. I was hired at my first regional just over five years ago. I have interviewed with numerous majors in that period. You have to actually send out applications to more than one airline and more than once to each airline to get an interview. It was not that long ago that everyone was hiring. There are circumstances that warrant spending years at a regional, but there was a lot of hiring from 2005 - early 2008.
