You had to have the type to get hired at swa, right? That makes it pft.
In your rather odd world, virtue is defined by not investing in one's career. So, how do you compare?
That translates to "We have an opportunity to buy 80 717's and want to know if you will reopen the production line for us."
You again???:laugh:
Why??? You going to cry to the mods again crybaby???
:crying::crying:
You still haven't responded to my challenge, Scope...
They could buy Airtran's 717 fleet.
A friend of mine at Delta forwarded this memo to me about long term planning for the Delta domestic fleet. I hope to be a part of it someday!!!
"The RFP asks for proposals to deliver 100 to 200 firm aircraft, with an option for 200 more, starting in early 2013. It asks the manufacturers to consider large, medium and small narrowbody planes to be operated by Delta as mainline aircraft."
Contract negotiation time folks.
Pilot's contract up in 2012. Article states aircraft starting in 2013.
Straight out of management playbook. Dangle "growth aircraft" in front of the group.

Yup. But, we have 116 737s over here at Alaska if Anderson wants to expedite putting the planes to use for Delta! 737-900ERs supposedly on the way too! Should help out with the 757-200 replacement.
So, if we don't go for the "bait" and instead go for pay and scope, will the planes just get older and older? Bye Bye--General Lee
Are you really that dense? Not taking the bait is entirely the point. If they are truly going to be replacing the aging aircraft, they will do so regardless of what pay and scope we go for right?
The timing of this release is the suspect point. It screams contract negotiation tactics 101.
Since you can't even envision that as a possibility, it entirely explains how mangagement has been able to get what they have from you. I am sure you will be in the group to give up scope for pay.
Sure, the timing is suspect, but the planes are getting old John. They are. That will not change. PSST---John, you got "owned" again.
General,
Replacing airframes is not growth.
Gup
And that is the point I am making. This announcement is suspect because I do not believe that these are all simply replacement for aging aircraft at mainline. They say that now, then next thing we know dci is flying around in those replacement for aging aircraft.
The fact that you believe this press release hook, line, and sinker says all there is to say.
You can't even concieve that this is negotiations 101. They put out a press release that states replacement aircraft will be flown by delta employees during contract negotiation time. Couldn't possibly be to try and influence scope expectations could it. Not a chance they are looking to put some kind of "c" series or jungle jet variation at dci is there...
