SWA delays -800s till 2017

I'd be pretty skeptical to say the least, you're right about whatever form AA ends up in after their reorganization they will have massive retirements and anyone junior will not be so for long.

If AA merges with USAir, do you know who will eventually win? The America West guys. The East pilots are mostly old, and the AA pilots have old Captains and a lot of old FOs. The AWA guys deserve it though, for all of the stuff they have had to put up with at USAir with USAPA etc.


Bye Bye--General Lee

Yup, did you see the new DL rates on the other thread? Nice if true.

Depends on scope. Believe me, I wish and will be so happy when delta resumes a solid lead on pay- but pay with bad scope is a place we've been before- that hurts wages in the long run as sold out pilots are more than willing to accept lower pay rates that are a step up-

Sell scope and mgmt knows whatever pay they offer will be a temporary raise as natural pressures emerge.

This is not to say I view scope in black and white terms- I don't- it simply must be controlled.
