Convert to the DAL sick leave policy at 3rd year equivalent.
DCI pilots are "bidding seniority" protected for 5 years if they remain on "pre-merged" equipment, once they bid to another category they get what their seniority holds.
Shiz,
That sounds good to me. I was thinking that the date the pilot recieves his "system seniority" woud be the date for effective Delta longevity.
As for pilots getting pass benefits ... Delta has hired very few pilots since 2001 (when the outsourcing exploded. In the mean time thousands of rampers, gate agents and managers came on board at Delta from DCI with their DCI longevity intact. How's it that no one complains about several thousand DCI employees going ahead of us?
