Your point was you wanted a union for each of the pilot groups or something. If I remember correctly? So I probably said no, bad idea. The only thing consistent with the pilot group is that they are Delta pilots, hence one union to represent all is required and not one to represent senior DTW A330 As hired between 1986 and 1987 versus NYC 7ER Bs hired directly into the aircraft. It's nonsensical.

So if that's what you're referring to then my previous post and this post are absolutely consistent.

If you negotiate for the benefit of one group it can and probably will be detrimental to another. Therefore, you don't favor one over the other... as in we're all Delta pilots no matter where they sit or how long they've sat there.

For example, a pay raise in exchange for a scope sale would be good for a senior pilot not immediately effected by a scope sale but immediately detrimental for a pilot beneath them all the way to those who are furloughed. To reiterate, a pay raise for one pilots family could cost another pilots family their sole income. Not acceptable.

The mission is not to lose a job from pilot 1 to pilot plug and then raise the pay from there. You can negotiate differing pay tables based on the philosophy size matters or mission type matters and so on if the objective is fairness, but you don't negotiate for the benefit of one pilot and force another pilot out of a job.

You agree?
