Again, I hope this gains momentum, but won't be 'counting checks before they're cashed' on this resolution.

Here's proof of intent. The changes in non-contract compensation have 3 effective dates, the only one that applies to our contract is the raise they will be getting.
January 1, 2015 and additional 1% is added to 401K contributions.
January 1, 2015 the new profit sharing formula takes affect.
December 1, 2015 pay raises take affect.
Why are the pay raises the only change effective December 1, 2015?
Here's their answer, does it make any sense at all?
2) Why are we giving the pay increase on December 1, 2015 instead of waiting until April 2016?
Restructuring our compensation program in response to employee requests for more income in base pay has been contemplated for many months as a result of Delta’s impressive financial performance. The December 1 effective date also provides employees with the 14.5% base pay increase prior to the first profit sharing performance period (starting Jan 1, 2016) that will be based on the new formula.
