What you have failed to point out is that it wasn't the DAL MEC policy to support the exclusion of EAL pilots, whereas it was the CMR MEC's policy to support the exclusion of furloughed ALPA pilots without having them resign their seniority number. Why the sudden "epiphany" from the CMR MEC?FlyComAirJets said:I'm sure the Comair MEC's "epiphany" is on par with that of the Delta MEC's a decade ago for the rEAL Eastern pilots. How many did DAL hire again, about three?

I don't think you get my point. I never said that YOUR MEC does the hiring. All I said is that a little support would have gone a long way! Your MEC publicly said that the hiring of furloughed DAL pilots would have created a "safety" issue! Then you have pilots telling us they would "burn the house down" if furloughees were hired! It really doesn't matter any more, as it is a mute point at this time!FlyComAirJets said:So it really doesn't matter what the policy was, MEC's don't do the hiring, the company does.
YGTBSM! Scoping the crap out of you??Some support, after scoping the krap out of us with your Y2K Contract, you literally walked around our picket lines thus ensuring Delta could keep right on operating during our strike. I wouldn't beat my chest too hard on that one.
Whether they reply to your question or not, you will bash them for whatever answer they provide and put an RJDC spin on it. You should direct your question to a more senior member of the DL pilot group....we've been at DL for less than 5 years, long after Eastern's days.FlyComAirJets said:Funny, you both won't answer the Eastern questions and I'm the one dancing around the subject? You still haven't answered the questions! Too close to home, I figure. I'll ask it again, how come there are no Eastern pilots at Delta?
Towards this end: it would have given you the same courtesy we've extended to the ASA pilots when DL hires again. Now, myself and many others will do what we can to keep Comair pilots off our seniority list (definitely a safety issue). The "silent majority" should have spoken out against your MEC's policy regarding Delta furloughees and the RJDC.FlyComAirJets said:"A little support would have gone a long way." Towards what end? Like for the Eastern pilots, a little support to hire three pilots at Delta or twenty DAL furloughees at ASA? What is the point of that? Should not it have been many more?
Wow, you must be omniscient...no one knows what motivates people to do things. Do I stop at a red light because I might get a ticket, or because I might get people killed? Don't you mean pathetic lawsuit? Most of us understand the long term ramifications for this profession IF this lawsuit succeeds. Most of us understand that you want to fly 300 seat jets (insert your preferred configuration here) for poor compensation. Most of us understand that there will be more furloughs and they will stay out longer if the court sides with Dan Ford.FlyComAirJets said:Then 737Pylt swings for the fences by saying, "As far as your strike, I sent in my assessment checks ..." because it was mandated by the union. Failure to pay the assessment is grounds for explusion from ALPA. You did not do it out of the kindness of your heart, you did it because you were told to. One of the longest threads on the ALPA board during the strike was The RJDC and My Assessment Dollars where you guys were screaming bloody murder about a prophetic little lawsuit that you still don't understand.
So helping to pay your mortgage and groceries wasn't enough for you? Your right, I should have given you the keys to the Ferrari and the estate (the lads are mine though).FlyComAirJets said:But then it gets better, " supported you guys, and would have gladly wa[l]ked the picket line with you had I lived in or near CVG! (emphasis mine) Let me get this right, you work for an airline that just so happens to have hubs at not two but three of the the airports we were picketing. Guess you never heard of Atlanta? Oh that's right, Delta pilots never fly through Atlanta. I have some nice pictures of ASA pilots who joined us there. You must have been real busy, 89 days spent avoiding all those hubs, it must have been exhausting.
Scope is good. Ours just got too liberal. Your division of "the Delta Nation" reaped and continue to reap the rewards of that 49%. So I don't know what's bothering you. Actually I have an idea, but that's not my field of expertise.FlyComAirJets said:You must have a real set of blinders on to say that your wonderfully contrived scope clause, courageously engineered during our strike, hasn't been limiting We hit the flying percentage ratios this summer and this fall we will hit the 57 RJ70 limit. The growth of DCI post 9/11 has been despite your continued efforts to limit us. ASA and Comair could have hired EVERY single furloughed Delta pilot and still had to hire off the street or from the Academy. Instead, in true target fixation-style, you will undoubtedly stick to this flawed plan and limit your own furloughees approaching their third year in exile.
"I know many who did walk the picket line in MCO and CVG!" Must be like, 'No but I did sleep in a Holiday Inn Express last night.'
