UAL Scope: Checkmate

[FDJ2]

A lot of "what if's"..... Delta TA said lots of hiring... Well that didn't happen....

Actually, the Delta TA didn't say that, but a comm piece was published that depicted the staffing impact of the new contract. That comm piece showed a net staffing change of 1 in 2012, 180 in 2013, driven by 717s coming online in the second half of the year, then in 2014 and 2015 approximately 400-500 additional positions each year as more 717s come online. All in the contract will create about 1,100 new mainline jobs through 2015, but only 1 this year.

And that also means about 550 new Captain positions (on 88 717s), along with 14 more MD90s next year alone too.(although they will replace the 17 DC9s exiting in 2014 now) The new 739s will be neutral with pilots, replacing one for one domestic 757s, A320s, and some domestic 767-300s. So, the 717s will be growth airplanes. Here's for hoping for a widebody order or buying used widebodies sooner than later...

I'm getting deja vu from the early 90s.

Pilots: "We're not going to fly those little panty-waist airplanes"

Management: "Alrighty then, have a nice day"

TOTAL CREW COST SAVINGS PER YEAR

EMB 195 $88,721,820

EMB 190 $137,114,916


Note: An additional crew savings of $7-8,000,000 per year is realized with the reduction of the third flight attendant in the EMB 190 and 195.

estimated cost of 203 E190/5's @ $30,000,000/ea = $6,090,000,000.00

estimated crew savings/yr from the original post = $233,836,736.00

Allowable per the TA.. but is it a good "dollars and sense" decision?
:nuts:

What are you saying? Pilots reliving their mistakes? Say it isn’t so….

Revisionist history if I ever read it. Read a little on the history of commuter airlines as they were known 20 plus years ago, and how code sharing came about. I love how some think that management came to the pilots and said, "hey do you guys want to fly these small jets??" "Nah, were to good for those"........

It was coerced and manipulated by management just like every other effort to suppress wages and benefits.
