No more productivity increases as seen in C2012.
- No increase in TLV
- No increase in reserve utilization
- No more moving bid periods around to "enhance" our peak time staffing.
- If it requires fewer pilots then it's a concession
If there is any decay with scope and or productivity it's a "No" vote for me. Assuming the above items are met here is what I would like to see:
27% pay raise through the life of a 4 year contract
15% pay raise year one
4% per year for the next 3 years
***No reduction in profit sharing to achieve the above pay raises.***
An additional 1% into the 401K
ADG up to 6 hours
Training days up to 6 hours
An additional 2:00 hours of pay for initial re-routes and 1 hour of additional pay for every additional re-route.
Accumulative sick time to some extent
After reading the DALPA contract history and considering Delta's current profits and guidance moving forward I think that the above is achievable in this environment.
Almost forgot, a giant M&M man dispenser in every crew room with the brown ones removed.
All good thoughts. I would like to see the domestic RSV max reduced back to FULL at ALV-2 unless the pilot wants to YS. They wanted/needed some flexibility for longer trips in the WB categories, but it's brutal to see all of the domestic guys getting beat up - 4-5 legs a day into the 90's is WAY too high. Let's put that genie back in the bottle, if only partially.
While we're at it, REG pilots being forced into high 80's, low 90's during PBS awards is also too high. I'd like to see that capped at something lower like 83 (approx 1000 hours/year, not exactly a low ball offer) unless the pilot waives it to go higher...
27% is an interesting number. Just curious, how did you come up with that?
Jerry, it's great to hear you say you support the MEC's goal of a historic C2015. I hope you will spread that amongst the DPA supporters as we will need everyone pulling in the same direction if we are to achieve what you/I/we want. Convincing TC to put a cork in it until at least after C2015 would be a smart move IMO. Unless you think you guys will actually be able to call a vote, what purpose is the DPA campaign serving going into (another) Section 6?
