ASA contract

[rjcap]

On another note, has anybody noticed the pro-DCI literature that has been circulated throught COMASA and mainline ???

Anybody hazard a guess as to what the PR campaign is leading to ????

what, if anything, are asa pilots getting in return for hiring furloughed delta pilots, and are said pilots hired in seniority order or at the bottom of this list?

from listening to dal vars i gather they want to do even more, with all the delcon carriers...just wondering what's in it for the rest of us...

We aren't "getting" anything because we aren't giving anything. Delta pilots are new hires and are going to the bottom of the list with everyone else.

seems to me they are "getting" a job and "getting" to keep their seniority at DAL...win win situation for them...

Anaconda,

If getting furloughed from Delta is a win situation, I'd hate to see a losing one.

What we're getting is:

1) Good, experienced pilots.

2) The satisfaction of knowing we're doing the right thing in helping out fellow airline pilots who are going through a tough time.

3) Hopefully some good will amongst the mainline guys.

To the best of my knowledge it's not in seniority order, because not all that many mainline guys are applying, and it's not being coordinated by ALPA in any way, so seniority wouldn't be an issue.

All the furloughed guys I've talked to who are coming over are happy to be here. They all know the 1st yr pay wil suck, they all know they go to the bottom of the list, they just want to get back in the air. I say we do all we can to help them.
