slowplay,
If you will recall in my original post, I was quite clear about posting Q3 numbers because that's all I had access to at the time. I asked you to post the full year numbers if you had them. You did. Thanks!
What you should know is I don't give a rip whether the PTIX was higher, lower, or the same when it comes to whether or not I feel I'm due to make the same pay I made a DECADE ago. Do you think management let these numbers affect their decision whether to expect/receive multiple $millions in compensation??? I think not. The point is the company is profitable NOW---but as I've said before, this won't last forever.
I also don't care what fuel cost---I care what MY costs are, and those are going higher and higher every year. It was not that long ago that DALPA kept an oil ticker on its home page. It was there for years! What was that for, slow? Was it a tool to assist pilots in trading oil? Or was it there as a constant reminder that we need to "stay humble"? The oil ticker may be gone but the (management) mentality is still there.
I get incensed when management gives away $1B---money taken out of the PILOT's pockets---and gives it away to the shareholders as dividends and worthless stock buybacks. You, however, make no mention of this.
When RA says "don't get greedy" and SD says to "stay humble" I wonder why my union is silent when RA takes a 42% raise in one year alone and he and other execs make multiple millions off of stock options.
You and DALPA could be
highlighting the eroding effects of inflation on our purchasing power. But you don't.
And what does "even a guy like Malone" mean? Refresh my memory, was he the one who stated "we don't rock the boat at DAL"?
