I agree with you. But PS should not be negotiated away. PS is a token (payback) for the sacrifices we made in the last 15 or so years, it should be held into place because only GOD knows when the next downturn will hit us. PS is my tool to fund future gloomy days and gets me motivated to go above and beyond what Delta expects from me.
We all know what happens when the gloomy days are amongst us, right? The company comes after and successfully reduces our wages and quality of life. We need to keep PS, and enhance our work rules and pay rates because we know that one little hiccup or misfire will bring it all down, AGAIN.
It saddens me that we have so many co-workers that "think" management really cares for our well being and that we should concede or not challenge. MGTs' only care is about their pay, shareholders and profits (which is admirable and correct management goals). We do have leverage, think about it. We fly the aircraft safely with excellent Ambassadorship.
I am FOR 18/5/5/5, better work rules and same or better PS schedule.
