Will we have any "mandatory schedule checks" on a day off like before? Until all that is fixed, there should be no piggy bank approach for a company wide payoff especially when its the reserve pilots that are doing all the work on the front lines with this mess.
Don't hang your hat on believing that reserves will see much of anything separate from regular line holders. Delta has always been a Captain/regular line holder airline. I don't see it changing with this negotiation. (And I'm a very junior reserve)
