Here is the simple fact:
This total TA comes down to an 8% hourly increase and massive concessions.
8% DOS
The 6% 1/1/16 is fully offset by a reduction in profit sharing. A reduction 98% of the Delta pilots opposed.
The 3% in 2017 and 2018 will barely cover cost of living if we are lucky.
Spread the word to every pilot you come in contact with.

I have been trying to wrap my small brain around the PS change. As I understand it it is a one for one swap of PS for fixed pay at 100%. Meaning in no scenario are we going to be paid less if the TA passes than if it doesn't. If you are saying that our pay raise of 8/0/3/3 is not enough I understand (and agree with you) but exchanging 5.74% max profit sharing for 5.74% fixed pay going forward is not a "loss" of PS it actually locks it in every year going forward.
Now, I have a long list of issues with this TA and likely voting no but please help me understand why this change in the way we get paid is bad.
