Does anyone else get the feeling....

I'm saying Delta pilots would be foolish to vote to strike over DCI flying some larger airplanes. Why shut down your company, that pays you a nice living and be forced to look for a new job where you will make less than a quarter of what you currently earn just to stop a couple of 90 seaters from being flown! It's rediculous. If DALPA traded a couple 90 seaters for keeping some pay, benefits and work rules, isnt that worth it? Maybe they could stipulate that they could only be flown on routes served by other RJ's at this time, in turn, increasing revenue - you know - the ultimate goal of the corporation. But the hill these Delta guys choose to die on is stopping some Regional guys from flying some 90 seaters? It just makes no sense. Look, Mesa flies them for AWA, Air Wisc flew them for United, and Mesaba for NWA. So what? What is the freakin big deal? Cant Delta decide the right aircraft for the right job? It is just insane to think these guys would rather be unemployed than allow 90 seat RJ's at DCI? They could have stopped this long ago. Now is not the time. It is just too late. Sorry.

Boy, don't let facts and legality get in the way of your hatred! You are pretty ignorant. DL is allowed to fly what ever aircraft they want to. When the 70 limit is reached, it goes to mainline (as all DL flying is subject to the DL pilots' PWA). Its just that simple. Why dumbasses like you have a hard time understanding it is really troubling. I realize your hatred for the DL pilot group has you blinded, but maybe you should put some of that hostility aside and check out what's legal, whats right, and what just makes sense! Sorry!

If the scopes get bigger the regionals will destroy the majors. I for one dont like working for 25k a year. Id like there be some airline for me to upgrade up to.

737 Pylt is right on target. Anything above 50 seats goes to DAL for mainline guys to fly. Hell, mainline pilots are the industry. Most regional guys learned to fly at a local FBO and have little real world experience. Since most DAL pilots come from a military background, they are the superior pilots. Mainline should and will get all of the flying for Delta and DCI should be wiped out for good. See if Skwest, ASA, Mesa, etc... could survive on their own. The answer is NO. So drop the issue of wanting more flying. Be happy we let you exist at all.

PAY YOUR DUES.

First off, don't call me boy. If you want to have some respect and have a discussion on a discussion board, well, then lets discuss. If you want to be disrespectful and try to belittle me, as you often do, then I don't want to have anything to do with you. You are no better, or smarter than me because you fly a bigger airplane than me. When some of you guys realize that finally, life will be better for you.

Next, I never said "I" want to fly larger aircraft at ASA. Foremost, I understand ASA pilots would not get paid their 'woerth' to fly them. Nor did I say if I desire to fly bigger airplanes I wont apply to the likes of CAL. JBlue or Airtran. What I said is, Delta pilots wont, at the end of the day, vote their company, their jobs, and the jobs of over 60.000 others away over the issue of more 70 seaters, or some 90 seaters at DCI. Do I want to see CHQ,Shuttle, Republic fly a bunch of EMB190's instead of Delta? No. But I dont think Delta should, or will, shut the company down over a bunch of 76 CRJ's that may help to bring some profit. But, we will see the results soon, as your MEC has obviously agreed to something.

Oh BOY!

Boy is an expression of speech. If you would stop your hatred and looking for a fight, you might just see that. Would it be better if I had said "oh brother, don't let facts get in the way?" If you would take your hatred and put it aside, you might just see that, but again, don't let facts get in the way of your hatred!

Well, you're already wrong there! Scope has become the #1 issue. 95% of the pilot group agreed with me!

I guess we can just agree to disagree! But you're right, we'll see the results soon!

Aw come on, your family didn't think so. BTW, your trailer needs cleaning really bad.

We can agree on 2 of three, but why David Volek?

Hey,

There are two ways to settle this.

Peace...Love...Dope

Or

The mainline pilots negotiate to take back all of the flying they outsourced in the first place. Granted this would take a bargaining chip too expensive to pay right now. Putting the genie back in the bottle is harder than letting it out. There is a catch in doing this though and that is, the pilots will have to come with the flying, yes that means some kind of a seniority merger. And no General this does not mean a seniority grab for your job. It means putting an end to this crap once and for all. But it wont be easy or cheap. The genie must be put back in the bottle.

It is the only way to stop the race to the bottom and whipsaw in its entirety while avoiding a regional vs mainline pilot war that only management will win.

In the meantime the regional pilots need to stop undercutting eachother and hold the line.

Just my opinion.

Regards

snappy comeback. wow.

 

[CFIT]

Word has it 73 that you have lost scope, 80 seats at DCI......

David Volek scoerd the overtime game-winner for the eighth seeded New York Islanders to knock out the number 1 seed Pittsburgh Penguins in their run for three straight Stanley Cups! And, thanks Tom Barrasso for letting that one in.

 

[Smacktard]

Well, you're already wrong there! Scope has become the #1 issue. 95% of the pilot group agreed with me!

So we can quote you as saying "If the TA involves anything with 70 or more seats going to DCI, the results of the vote will be 95% voting it down"? I'm sorry, but I have to go with 79%N1 on this one, it isn't going to happen that way. Name a contract dispute where there wasn't a large percentage voting yes in the strike vote. It's politics, as usual.
