Yeah - No kidding. A few months ago I complained that our bid package was the worst I had even seen at DAL. Well we have a new winner the November DAL 737 Bid package:
58 rotations without red-eye flights.
74 rotations that include red-eye flights.
And for the piece de resistance -
45 four day rotations that include red-eyes and pay between 17 and 21 hours!!!
35% of our rotations are four day trips with red-eyes that pay less than 21 hours!!!!
Thanks to our great duty period average contract.
The ALPA guys keep saying that "in total" the Alaska code share is good for the Delta Pilots. Although I am doubtful of that comment, it is pretty clear the LAX guys are being disproportionately impacted by the Alaska agreement.
