Guys,


This is just my personal opinion but it is based on hearing something very similar on three separate occasions - all from people in leadership positions at DAL.

Productivity: Management is putting out that we are dead last in Pilot Productivity. This is total BS. It is pure BS because they are picking their metric to define productivity, which is block hours. Fact is we operate multiple fleets which require a lot of training - fleets which by the way let them maximize revenue which is far more important then block hours.

FACT - DAL pilots produce on average more annual revenue than Southwest Pilots.

Don’t fall for managements BS. If they decide to operate multiple fleets with numerous 30+ hour layovers that is on management not pilots.


Sick leave usage. DAL Pilots use more sick leave than other pilot groups. No shiit! Many other Pilot groups bank sick leave - we don’t. A nice Apples to Oranges comparison.

In my opinion Management will try to use the above as talking points in C-2015. I hope DALPA is ready with a quick response.

No more productivity concessions!

If you hear either of the above mentioned be sure to counter it.
