Embraer sees Delta order

[Flying the Line]

Delta pilots want Southwest Pay and to get it they will give up scope for 99 seaters. Count on it General.

For their 737s... More for anything else with more seats.

I doubt the scope relief this time around. One big difference: bankruptcy will no longer be the driving issue.

The 2001 Delta pilots contract was above and beyond SWA pay. So no, they don't want SWA pay. Delta Pilots want what they had!!!

Guys like Bill Lumberg or ACL might know the exact number, but that is what I believe is correct. A lot more mainline planes before anymore DCI planes over their cap.

I think the number is 781 or 783 mainline jets.....before they can acquire more 76 seaters and we are down on that number by like 12 airframes I believe. More DC-9's are being parked than we are getting MD-90s....so the net number will drift down some.

DCI is at the limit, the way I remember it.

Scope is universal now....I think everybody gets it. We are being squeezed from both sides of the seniority list. Richard and Northwest never met a codeshare they didn't like.

No, scope is a non-issue for most. Most FDAL and FNWA pilots have seen what RJs have done to this career, and a lot of that was added in the BK process. I disagree. And, allowing the Airtran guys to get Southwest pay will help the DL pilots' cause.

I agree. Scope is important dealing with RJs, Joint Ventures, and code-shares. All of them need to be watched and have set limits, and that will be important in upcoming negotiations as well.

You are correct. Not as many external pressures this time around, at least not yet. Higher profits always help, too.

You are correct. Bye Bye--General Lee

At the slightest hint of praise from The General ..... Jonsonrod disappears into his parents bathroom for some 'me time'.
