It makes total sense to me that this is a significant issue to you, and I think all Delta pilots should consider it in their review of the TA. I have been trying to put numbers on this, from a meeting yesterday. I wasn't able to attend the open session brief to the MEC last week, so I'm not caught up on the info yet.

According to my notes, there were 15,474 trips days dropped in 2014, or 1.42 days/pilot/year. 50% of dropped days went to 288 pilots, 75% to 767 pilots. 252 pilots averaged more than one day per month dropped. The concentrations vary widely by fleet type, i.e. more on the ATL 717B. That's who is getting the drops.

I think it will also be instructive to understand what % of trips would likely be removed from the bidding. I can't fully substantiate this for you yet, the total number of trips being pulled sounded like it would be < than 2% (of FO trips, obviously). I'm being told a notepad should be available shortly, but in the meantime, there is a road show in Peach Tree City tomorrow from 1-4PM, and the road show schedule has been e-mailed in Contrails 20.
