The pay raises are fine, but pay is not my primary concern. Retirement is. How about 1% DC increase PER YEAR. And there is no reason to change profit sharing at all. It's profit. Doesn't cost them a thing really. Profits are supposed to be shared. They share plenty with investors by buying back stock and increasing dividends. Our investors got an increase in profit sharing, and we are getting a decrease?

Ok, I saw the reduction in unverified sick leave coming. From 100 down to 80 (approx) But, if you are going to do that then give me another week of vacation. You older guys will remember we used to get seven weeks of vacation. (with trips touching, but that's another matter.) And being able to "bank" 40 hours of it doesn't help. 40 hours is what the average Delta pilot uses per year anyway. So most won't be able to bank anything unless they start flying sick.

Having said all that this TA is certainly in the ball park of what I expected and what we can achieve, so no let's not get all giddy and think this is a referendum for the DPA or some such nonsense.
