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!
We are flying our a$$es off.. We are shorthanded. What did you expect? Take a pay cut?
I do not want to fly myself to an age 66 grave. Do you get that? Our pay can double if we flew 100 hours a month and cut the seniority list. GS baby! Not for me, i did not sign up to ***** out.
