Rumor I've heard is DL is close to a deal with management. Also heard that the deal will be done anywhere as soon as a few weeks to a couple months.

I've also heard numbers floated around 11% pay raises for each of the next two years, then cost of living raises after that.

I haven't heard anything about what DL pilots may or MAY NOT be giving
up to get these items.

So what are you guys at DL hearing?
11% the first year will be voted down IMO. It needs to be SWA rates first year for our 737 and MD88 pilots, and then more for larger planes. That plus zero more 76 seat RJs and better JV/Codeshare protections.
