FWIW, NWALPA thought having a SLI in the box was so important, that it survived not only the early 2000s givebacks and the pension freeze, but bankruptcy as well.

Wait a minute, who is going to be on the MEC and who is a line pilot? So who is the illuminati and who is not? I guess really I should start with the mock outrage because an elected LEC rep is attacking a poor defenseless line pilot. I don't understand why you can't have a conversation about facts without childish comments and attacks. Sometimes you have the maturity of a 10 year old.

You are right the columns labeled 2008 and 2012 are reversed, I am so sorry that it upset your little candy cart so much. I fixed the picture.

I included the instructor part to tell the whole story and yet you have to go on a rant once again like I was covering it up. DALPA thought it was important to have better duty rigs for domestic pilots and that survived bankruptcy. DALPA thought is was important to have 10% more pay than NWA even after bankruptcy. Blah, blah blah. Each pilot group puts value in the contract where they want to. Just because you gave priority to some items in your contract and ignored others don't start crying about why DALPA made other choices.

I am sorry that you didn't get your way on the instructor part of the contract. You will find that your ideas have costs, costs that have to be balanced out against the desires of the entire pilot group. The contract survey showed the Delta pilots were not interested in putting a lot of value in the instructor part of our contract, that they were pretty satisfied with where we were. I guess as a bottom up guy, you should accept that and move on.
