Each pilot has the equal opportunity to blend the mix of QOL and direct compensation as they best determine under that employment contract.

Sounds like you want your cake, and eat it too. Most of us had ideal employment scenarios, but hey...you go to the dance with the one that said "yes".....and life at delta is what it is. and while I would agree a lot of it has sucked as a direct result of the incompetent representation responsible for adverse conditions in our PWA's.......elder abuse is not one of the standouts in that history.

Its just a wild guess on my part, but I suppose even those damn younger pilots would like to have QOL and money too.
