It was just a fantasy because it isn't happening. And won't happen.
For me, NO to a reduction in profit sharing and YES to increases in pay and QOL.
Ok. Just wondering where your priorities would be when it came to a choice at the end. If you had to make a decision for 12,000 other pilots also would you still make that choice?
In the "fantasy" it's good you aren't in a leadership role, because I don't want our survey data available to the company to use against us. However that's a different issue altogether.
In case no one has ever told you, the survey results aren't a "want or else" list. The survey is a way to determine
"where" the pilots want improvements, not
"how much". The Union (any union) is going to attempt to obtain as much as possible. The survey helps the NC make sure it gets increased value put into the proper areas of the PWA. I'll wager that what was acceptable to 2/3rds of Delta pilots in 2012 is not the same as what will be acceptable in 2015. It will take a lot more for most, including me.
