Scope is a big airline issue...not a niche minnow operation with less than 10% of the daily pax flinging.
You need to make the sick leave policy changes THE line in the sand. The reinvented sick leave golf ball that DALPA put in the garden hose for DL pilots to swallow better NEVER show in any future AS contract proposal.
Then you need to ensure another cost-neutral contract raise doesn't come at the hands of PBS calculating new pilot efficiencies...because that pill is a-coming.
The sad reality is AAG can afford to pay the 2017 rates for a long time without having to offer the pilot group anything but endless iterations of cost-neutral offers.
