My thoughts pretty much align with yours, re. the approximate amount. And remember, the Furloughed guys gave 100% of their pay!
I'm not asking for the lost $Million back, although that would be nice....but how about someone at DALPA adding up the total contributions from our entire pilot group:
1. LOA 46 pay cut
2. LOA 51 pay cut
3. Flushed DB plan vs. DC plan funding
4. NW's Pilot's pay cut
5. NW Pilot's frozen DB non-funding
6. Work rule changes like PBS, requiring less staffing
Why isn't anyone keeping track of that?
Seems to me it would be much easier to make the case for "Restoration" in C2015 if we could show exactly how much the combined Delta and NW pilots have "Invested" in Delta's recovery, since 2004. And if we could point to say, $2Billion of today's record earnings, as the "Delta Pilot's Contribution" that would at least put everyone on notice, that we have not forgotten how much WE paid to Save Delta.
