Just talked to my buddy at Delta. He is prior NWA, and is a thumbs down. He said the profit sharing give back and sick leave change are enough to say no. He got a 20% profit sharing last year alone. The pilots profit sharing is tied to other work groups so if the pilots get less the company can reduce the profit sharing of those groups also.

Me personally I could care less if I'm making $330 an hour. When we have pilots dying at 55 what good is a high hourly rate ? Not only do we have to keep our work rules and vacation but we need BETTER work rules. What the company has done to our schedules is killing us. I remember when I wouldn't bid any international trip with less than a 24hr layover, now you're lucky to have 24hrs.
