Do you want to bet if Delta pilots' profit sharing formula gets better, gets worse, or stays the same in the next TA presented to the membership?
Ok, let's put it this way. They had a TA, they turned it down. If they would have approved said TA, their profit sharing would be less.
I never said every part of our contract had to be improved. Much of it wasn't. We still get 6 hours of sick leave per month. We still get the same vacation days. I could go on and on with this, but much of our contract is exactly the same. We definitely lost by capitulating on retirement.
I'll bet you this. Their pay will go up significantly. I can't tell you about every piece of their contract including profit sharing.
Hopefully, we'll all live a long time. Hopefully, we'll collect many years of retirement. We left a very significant part of our contract virtually untouched. Again, the B fund increase will net me 40k over the next 10 years, assuming I hit 265k every year. Bumping FAE up to 320k would add 30k/year assuming I could average 320k. Think I'd take the A fund improvement.
I read the lawsuit from the guys suing ALPA. I'm not going to remotely consider suing our own organization, but they do make some very good points.
