Every Delta pilot knows we have been working a great deal more since the Chapter 11 concessions were extorted from us.



After scope, quality of life is the highest priority in C2015. Working less days to spend with our families after years of sacrifice.



What is quality of life?

Days off.



Trip rig



No ask



Duty rig



No ask



Minimum day



No ask



Vacation



Our counterproposal is VERY VERY low. Remember we currently have a max of 113:45/3:15 per day. FedEx is 6 hours per day and a max of 216 hours.



The cat is out of the bag and we are going to sell vacation. In other words, WORK MORE.



We are going to drop our position on an additional week which would bring us 42 days like United.



And worst of all, the tiny increase we asked for :15 minutes additional each year will be pay, no credit. Again, NO ADDITIONAL TIME OFF.



So, help me out here. What quality of life gains are left? What quality of life gains are we making?



Our domestic trip values are at a record low for my 30 years. 3 day trips worth 15:45. Pathetic.

Obviously I believe these rumors are true. I hope they are not. Rather way, a call to your reps will clear the air. They need to hear that quality of life is not for sale.

Given the "at least 70% of free cash flow to the shareholders" concessions are off the table.
