Never used the wuss word…..
Boog, please. Let's be honest here.
You wrote that in three years there would be a lot less (sic) DAL pilots. In fact, there are over 800 more Delta pilots on the property today.
You wrote that there would be stagnation. In fact, there have been hundreds of pilots advancing to higher paying equipment every year since 2012.
You wrote that the W2s wouldn't increase. In fact, in just straight pay rates alone, (not counting b-plan, profit sharing, or the aforementioned advancements) Delta pilots are making 23.9% more than they were in 2012.
You wrote that "we didn't think they would do that." In fact, we knew very well that they would do that.
I'm not here to debate 2012, and I apologize for rehashing it. My only motivation was to point out that 2012 was not the disaster that many (including your reps) predicted, and just maybe, this one won't be either.
And thanks for not calling me a wuss!
