Here's what the sailingfun's refuse to admit: We made some gains in pay rates in C2012, but we also agreed to significant concessions that offset those pay rate gains. It offset it to the point where Ed and Richard called the pilot's contract cost neutral and the additional savings could be used to invest in initiatives that benefit other employee groups at Delta.

Talk about deflection? Good lord. If the argument is simply whether our contract value has gone up since 2012, you would have to be a 911 truther to not understand that our costs have gone up at least 500 million dollars (excluding profit sharing expense). Math? 20 plus million for percent of pay, plus 5:15 adg (reserve part was huge) DC percent etc.
Just like the statements claiming what the NMB did or didn't say to the MEC... You are way off base. You have second hand information. There were also multiple presentations, some at the BOD where only reps in that committe were present.
My info was first hand.. Yours was not.
