Hey General

[8HourPilot]

Honestly, I want to hear your opinion of what is upcoming.

i'll answer for the General. Delta will force the strike . 40% will cross the first day. by day 7, 60% will have have crossed. With that number of scabs, they will fly 80% of the schedule and tha strike will be broken. The scabs are lining up. I even read on the Dalpa Forum one pilot complaining about having to clean out his locker.
The real question is "will the General cross?"

No way. We talked about this yesterday on a trip (non-Delta). Our forecast was for 10% on the first day, and no more than another 10% later. 20% scabs, and the schedule is hopelessly destroyed. Pilots win!

Those 20% will sure have a fun career when this all plays out.

Don't crane your neck, just get a video camera and a tripod.

Keep this in mind. The most militant right now are the FOs. Lets say you did have 10 or ever 20% cross. Of that, I bet you get less than 1% of the FOs to cross. You can't fly a plane with just a captain and it would take time to train some of the captains to fly FO. Delta does not have that time. Any strike at all will mean the end of Delta. There is not enough money to ride out even a one week strike.

The Big Train Wreck

This is sort of like looking a a slow motion train wreck. You know it's going to be awful, but you just can't help yourself from looking. No winners here thats for sure.

Good Luck!

Isn't the Ca not flying as F/o's a contractual thing? If they get to a strike I would assume that the contract would be thrown out and that Ca can fly as F/o's............

Unless the Captain is current or near current in the right seat, he would need a right seat check out. I'm pretty sure it's not a contractual thing. Of course, during a strike, things could conveniently change.
