The deeper I dig into this POS the more outraged I become. Are we going Bankrupt again, right now??
What the XXXX were they smoking when they agreed to all these concessions while Delta is earning BILLIONS, and returning BILLIONS to Shareholders??
The Scope, the sick leave, the pay rates, the LCA thing, it's ALL GARBAGE!
ALL OF IT!
And we get another nickel an our for per diem?? Are they just trying to **** me off? I wouldn't be as Po'd if they left that out entirely!
Management is just following the script they used last time. Early raise, check; trade next raise for some profit sharing, check; trade some 76 seat scope for 50 seat scope, check; jet acquisition dependent on this deal, check.
They are hoping that we will focus on the time value of an early pay increase while they sneak in a bunch of concessions.
I don't think they gave us nearly enough sugar to swallow this bitter pill. Not when you consider how profitable we are right now.
