Republic shifts 8 Frontier planes to Delta

[JohnDoe]

And the collective Delta pilot group says, "oh well."

No kidding......

I saw one of the union reps recommending one possible use for profit sharing checks is a contingency fund for the up-coming contract negotiations.

Had quite a good laugh at that one. The delta group strike?? Bwahahahaha After reading posts from/taking to/hearing these capitulators talk it is obvious that would never, ever happen.

Those extra 70 seaters are courtesy of the scope given up during the joint-contract "negotiation." They allowed more 70 seaters to exist (255) in the joint contract than were on the property at both delta and nw at the time the joint contract was signed. Should have capped them to the number that existed right at that moment.

But according to the general all of the recent scope concessions were due to the bankruptcy.....

I wouldn't be so sure. A lot of younger guys at delta who strongly believe scope is THE issue in 2012. Add to that the historically militant NWA group and it might happen.

The "militancy" of the nwa group is an overrated myth. Look at the percentage that voted for the joint contract. Far too much was left on the table on that one.

If scope is "THE" issue, why on earth did everybody sit back and vote yes for allowing 255 70 seaters during the joint contract??

Let's not forget the whole "B b b but we might have lost the arbitration" Loa deal not long ago. I laughed when reading everybody saying "oh, well, we won't let them do something like that again." "If they do that one more time, well, then by golly we'll vote them out of office."

Excuses are the only thing to expect from this group.

John.... Seriously??

Quit talking out of your Ahole.....you have no clue what you are talking about. The joint contract DID NOT (REPEAT: DID NOT) change any limit other than the combined total between the 2 companies. In fact it went lower.....

Don't think so....Then post proof....otherwise...Grab yourself a big steaming cup of STFU and let the adults spread REAL info.

Oooh.... you are quite the internet tough guy aren't you.

They have been adding new 70 seaters to the property ever since the joint contract. That is a fact. This article is further proof of it.

Delta is adding more 70 seaters since the signing of the joint contract up to the limit allowed. Adding more 70 seaters than the number that existed on property at both delta and nw at the time it was signed. That is a fact.

The joint contract DID NOT (REPEAT: DID NOT) change any limit other than the combined total between the 2 companies.

I never said that it did. REPEAT: I NEVER SAID THAT IT DID. (see, I can use tough-guy capital letters too). I said that it allowed for a number greater than the number on the property at both airlines at the time it was "negotiated." That is a fact. I then went on to say that we should have capped the amount to the number that existed (ie: on property) at the time the contract was negotiated. We should have tried to regain some scope. We had the opportunity to limit them. Instead, we let them have more than the number that were on property. To me, that was a scope concession. Even if we did allow for more than the amount that were physically on property, 255 was far too many.

I made zero mention of what the total numbers were that were allowed by both contracts. I am talking about what was on property at the time. Should I explain that for you again internet tough-guy? (we salute you!)

Grab yourself a big steaming cup of STFU

Maybe you should take your own advise and work on your reading comprehension while you do so.

Ohhh "tough guy" threats.....good counter point.....but your Ahole is still speaking, so again........another moment of reality for you son.....

Delta HAD a larger limit on 70+seats. When both were combined, it was set at a lower limit than both airlines separately.....A WIN!! We got a LOWER LIMIT as a group combined McFly......

Not happy about it, but it was better than what we had. You see....They always had the opportunity to add more jets, but with the POS dc-9s going to pasture it rights the balance of the addition of the MD-90s.

Still waiting for your proof.....yeah but who needs that...It's FI!!!

Start making some true statements instead of running your a$$cheeks together trying to use your opinion as fact......nuff said....." FI tough guy!"

Go get em Bill!!!!!!

Bill for President of the UNIVERSE!!

 

[Hamfighter]

You do have to take Slightinfo with the Proverbial grain...

Good point about the combined Delta allowing fewer 70s overall, but hey...it still hurts!
I'm just surly that we didn't staple Compass to get 170s on mainline.

JRod, you ever get stink on your nose?
