Hi T, Thank you for your service to us all. Myself and all of the pilots that I fly with are increasingly becoming concerned with DALPA position on our upcoming negotiations. Will you support an agreement that doesn't at least get our payrates back to 2004 levels? Do you even consider the C2K payrates, which were negotiated 10 YEARS AGO, relevant? Why are they not included in the Delta Pilot's Contract Comparison, the Delta Pilot's Contract History, the DALPA website, or any DALPA communication? Has this been oversight, or or is there another reason ? As the Chairman, I realize that you are very busy. However, an explanation would fortify DALPA position to the membership. Thank you again for all you do for us.



Thanks for the email. I appreciate your participation and taking your time to stay involved. DALPA does not yet have a position on the upcoming negotiations. The pilot group (DALPA) will ultimately determine our goals and the MEC and MEC administration will work hard to achieve those goals. The MEC is currently in the process of developing the contract survey and should be distributing it later in Sept. The MEC will be working this fall to develop the contract opener. My point of view on these issues is no more important than your point of view. Please continue to engage your fellow pilots in discussions on these important topics. The more participation we get, the more valid the feedback will be. There will be another Roadshow in ATL on Oct 13th, I hope to see you there. T. O. M.
