Shwank: Somehow, the DL 767's are always left out by you guys, why is that? I mean, that's only 101 International flying wide body aircraft that PAY virtually the same or better than your a-330's, it shouldn't skew your numbers too much. So let's re-do your statement based on widebody aircraft: "Of the largest 174 aircraft on the property in the merged carrier, 63 are coming from NWA's fleet" That doesn't count, of course, our 136 757's. Gosh Shwank, think of it! Did you know that DAL brings to the merger 237 aircraft that pay the same as your 32 a-330's! Now, I know that probably doesn't impress you,(it should, you will directly benefit from it.) but think how impressed you would be if I told you---"Shwank, DAL brings to the merger 32 widebody aircraft that pay the same as your 237 a-330's/757's!" No, Schwank, your equipment is not inferior, they're great aircraft! But your "stuff" is inferior- in pay and numbers of widebody aircraft.Location is dependent on the person. I have zero desire to move south. You likely have zero desire to move north. This doesn't make Atlanta better than Minneapolis. I would argue the other direction and we'd get nowhere. It's completely subjective.
The largest 73 aircraft of the merged company? I've considered all aircraft with max TOGW over 500K.
NWA 16 747-400s
NWA 15 747-200s (13 freighter + charter AC--I believe it's 2)
DAL 10 777s
NWA 32 A330s (The oldest being delivered in 2002)
Of the largest 73 aircraft on the property in the merged carrier, 63 are coming from NWA's fleet. When GL comes on here about firm 8 firm 777 orders, we can throw in the 18 firm 787 orders and so on..... Both sides bring real iron to the fire. Somehow, the NWA stuff is always inferior.
I believe NWA MEC was supposed to meet today towards approving the joint contract...did anybody hear anything yet?
My certainty that the Delta pilots will ratify this is beginning to slip to a mere probability.
There may be some real good reasons to try to stop this. For starters, the absence of any discussion of scope in the Chairman's Letter leaves me wondering if scope was a priority.
We need a plan to deal with the DC9 displacements.
We need to understand the SLI before we vote on a contract.
The SLI determines what the contract means. Particularly in the area of scope. We have scope triggers that depend on certain pilot's seniority which is now, unknown.
Lots of questions, few answers, the next few weeks will be informative. I would prefer that we table the contract until after the SLI.
