It is YOUR job Slowplay to fight for the pilots as our representatives to management. Instead, our MEC has been actively managing our expectations down since 2007. We are tired of all the bull $h!t quibbling coming from you and ACL over the definition of restoration and why you can't negotiate for it, or, how many cycles it will take, or the quality of profitability of Delta.

How about this.

I don't care anymore about restoring our pay to C2K or 2004 levels.



Instead, since our pay is presently EVEN BELOW that of the notorious P O S 96 concessionary contract, how about we lower the bar for you all to make it EASIER for DALPA SINCE restoration to C2K is too hard for our MEC to deliver.

We should except nothing less in C15.

767-300 January 1, 2000 rate (POS96): $203.25
Adjusted to inflation in 2015: $284.82

767-300 January 1, 2015 rate (C2012): $226.21

That is a 21% pay CUT in buying power from POS96.
