Delta Future??--Crystal Ball Needed

[Boeingman]

I agree. I don't think the Gov't would ever allow a large carrier(with 50,000 employees) to go totally under these days, and will allow mergers, which is something they might not have considered in the past. I think DL will get rid of debt and those pension obligations (via legislation or dropping them), and then we will be in better shape to possibly merge with someone. Our fearless leaders say they "aren't failing to plan, and they certainly don't plan to fail...." Let's see what that means. I liked that saying so much, I made it my signature. We shall see.

I just hope that both (all) the ALPA groups can (should this happen) try and do it fairly and follow merger policy with a minimum of rhetoric. The infighting and attacks only serve to help management with a divided and angry workforce.

To do this:
Chap. 11 is hard to tell.
Pensions...gone.
Productivity...increase to ASA/Comair levels
ASA/Comair...IPO
Scope relief for DCI up to as high as they can get to compete domestically. (This is the real dagger for the pilots).[/QUOTE]

Scope relief for MORE Rj's???? Are you serious??? It used to be you RJ lovers were complaining about how you needed more 50 seaters a few years back, now it's 70 seaters you need more of, soon 90 seaters and then maybe the 777's. What ever happened to the party line you people were spewing about how profitable the 50 seat RJ's are??? What scope relief would you envision, so that I as a mainline pilot won't get furloughed again while you get new jets??? Please tell me!!!! When will you be happy with what your career expectation was when you hired on and quit trying to be a mainline pilot without ever applying or interviewing to be one.
