If you look real close, you may be able to see the puppet strings on certain airline Captains.

wow that was interesting. Mr. Oberstar was not very happy with Moak and his what seemed to be canned responses. To clarify i am not bashing moak but thats exactly what it looked like.

With Delta paying DALPA all merger related expenses, it is clear that Moak is just a medium for the New Delta message.

I enjoyed the "overweight" DAL pilot behind Stevens. Perfect example of why not to wear a double breasted suit. Seems the eating is good in Washington and New York.

Heyas,

Hey guys, best leave this alone for the time being. We will know THIS week if DAL ALPA and DAL management are serious.

If it is TRUE that the DAL MEC is simply a negotiating proxy for DAL management, then any agreement NWA ALPA reaches with their DAL counterparts should be approved VERY quickly by DAL/NWA management.

If not, then all bets are off, and it will be a long, hot summer. At that point, whether or not DALPA is complicit DAL management's effort to "string us along" won't really matter.

I think we will reach a TA proposal with DALPA quickly, but that an actual agreement with DAL management over a TA will take much longer. They are already on record as wanting "harmonization" over several years.

DALPA can look like good guys while being quite happy to see (or facilitate) an actual TA being elsuive......they have already shown thier hand in wanting to delay as long as possible in the hope we bleed out and there is less NWA to have to integrate.

When you hear Moak speak are Richard Anderson's lips moving?

And I can't wait to see the SLI as Relative Seniority, and with fences around the 744s, 777s, 764s, A330s, your 18 787s, 767ERs, and DC9s. That will be fantastic.

Wonder where Capt. Moak got the "1+1=3" line.

ALPA E&FA.

NWA MEC got the same data.

And some deserve Oscars

I don't think anyone should draw conclusions from congressional hearings -- they are staged performances. The witnesses are just scenery, and the ones asking questions are the real actors.

Whats going to be fantastic is when your MEC is going to have to eat his words and explain himself to the Delta pilots after his testimony

I can't wait for that. Anyways......... And, it will be relative seniority. Thank gawd I am at about the 50% mark. DC9 Captain DTW here I come....(there is no way I want to be on a bus over there, I am very "suspect" about the training on that equipment)

Bye Bye--General Lee

Isn't Occam an A320 Sim guy? Exactly. That guy thinks he knows everything, and that is questionable at best. But, he is RISIBLE.......Sounds like just the type of training anyone would like. I would probably be rolling my eyes constantly.

Not sure if Occam is a NATCO guy or not but I think he'd be a pretty cool dude to have as an instructor. Good luck on the DC-9. Remember it's summer, so if you go on a three day be sure to pack at least five shirts.
