Tentative Agreement


Fellow Council 44 pilots, on May 14, 2012, the Delta MEC Negotiating Committee reached a Tentative Agreement with the company. This TA is the result of attempting to achieve an agreement in an expedited manner, but only if it benefited the Delta pilots. We, and the Delta MEC, spent the last seven days reviewing, discussing and evaluating the details of that agreement. Soon, you too will have all the details to help you decide how to cast your vote during the membership ratification process. We are going to give you the facts and explain the risks and rewards of the multiple paths before you, and then let you decide. We will support whatever decision you make.


The Delta MEC Policy Manual has some requirements that must be met whenever a Section 6 Tentative Agreement reaches the level of MEC approval. Here’s what you can expect:


1. Preparation of final contract language. That has already taken place and the agreement is posted on the Delta MEC website.
2. Explanatory road shows by the Negotiating Committee and MEC leadership. Those will be scheduled beginning after Memorial Day and will run for approximately three weeks.
3. A presentation of the circumstances of how the agreement was reached. You have already read in several communication pieces why we made the decision to seek an expedited comprehensive agreement, and we will be in the lounge to discuss this and any other issues you would like to discuss.
4. Section by section explanation of all changes. This will come in a series of Negotiators’ Notepads, which you should start receiving this week.


Expect details of the ratification window to be presented by the MEC Communications Committee. Expect a continual stream of information from the Negotiating Committee over the next week to ten days.


We will be in the pilot lounge, or available via phone and email, until the voting results are announced. We look forward to speaking with you.
