Delta 717 problems?

[Jeff Helgeson]

It is still a DC-9, Douglas Cable airplane #9, lift the floor and see the DNA of the Douglas Cable airplane #3. Long live the DC-9

Little yellow button you are all mine, you are just another DC9!

Impressive.....can I get to Bloomington, Flint or Singapore on your airline?

Flint, yes.

Bloomington would be outsourced RJ service.

Singapore? We'll see. International is on it's way.

Sounds like GK thinks so, via pay cuts, RJs, and code shares. Can you hold the line is the question...

Unlike you and your sellout mentality, we've held the line for 40 years.

Remember your last TA?

You were kind of like John Kerry..

I was against the TA before I was for it. Your first instinct was right.

You never understood then what was happening. 88 717s come in to replace 70/76 seaters that were going to then replace outgoing 50 seaters. Do you see the domino effect? 50 seaters couldn't make money in high oil, but maybe a 70 or a 76 seater could, and push them down to those 50 seater routes that could never sustain a 717. Then, allow 717s to take back a large chunk of routes that went to DCI after 9-11. It actually helps everyone, including mainline pilots. More seats to smaller cities to commute on, and more profits via bag fees to help with profit sharing. It benefitted everyone, except 50 seater pilots.

We all understand better than you sellout

Holy crap, you are such an idiot.

Ummm, no. You got your work cut out for you. Apparently your boss already is comparing your 737 pay to other 737 operators, while currently your 737s pay as much as some 747 operators, even though that may not be the case soon thanks to legacy rates going up due to higher profits. This may get interesting, good luck, idiot.

You're almost hopeful that we'll take a paycut general-

Do you think us doing that would be good for you and DALPA?

Heck no, but it's just interesting that the management the stuck it's nose into a merger SLI, now seemingly wants to maybe alienate the other 2/3's of the pilot group. What happened to the "family" attitude?

And really, when you finally get it all straightened out, get management to drop the pay for your type scheme. That plus stagnation may very well point a lot of potential Corndogs to the other LCCs, like Spirit, JB, or Allegiant.
