In my category, this TA hamstrings my ability to make more pay by flying overtime. My math says this TA will cut my earnings by $100k.
But that isn't the worst of it. This TA will cut transatlantic flying...
AND allow 1 guy, who I have learned to distrust due to his actions, the MEC chairman, to allow a foreign carrier to fly my Pacific flying too...and probably be counted as Delta metal, in delta paint...My job eventually is flown by a Chinese guy because my union CAN DO THAT...under this TA.
And there's more!
He can let Emirates, Etihad, Qatari, etc fly my trips in delta paint too.
