I suppose you are talking about reducing profit sharing and agreeing to pay banding as the wolf issues. I hope I am wrong.
The DPA survey with over 700 pilots so far overwhelmingly are opposed to reducing profit sharing or trading it for hourly increases. (Over 90%). Still makes me nervous.
Pay banding? To me it's a done deal.
CDOs? The DPA survey says no so far. 60/40 or so.
2013 Contract Survey Summary
The Delta Pilots Association began collecting survey data from its members in October 2010. The following summary is a list of many inputs made by Delta Pilots and represents common themes and new ideas Delta Pilots desire in the next contract.
7) Seat Pay (Four basic categories .… NBFO, NBCA, WBFO, WBCA …. or two categories .… CA, FO …. reduces training demands).
Three years worth of "polling data" and the DPA said publicly to management Delta pilots desire pay banding. With 5800 members (and climbing) it sounds like you are the one asking for pay banding, not the other way round. If it's a done deal it's because you asked for it in writing.
