It doesn't include any new types, and it doesn't deprive Delta pilots of flying we want to do.
If similar to 2012, it's been effective and popular. Yes, it codifies things that management PROBABLY wanted to do anyway, so they win too, but it unlocks vlaue for all, and it provides contractual protections.
The industry has bigger scope problems, especially on the WB end, plus licensing, foreign carriers in general, the ME3, etc. Delta has a problem in those areas, and the Delta pilots are now behind the industry, and we're going to weigh, privately, the pros and cons of any agreement.
This is not 2012. We should have never voted that in.
We should get 15% more on top of the 18% to add this scope give and AIP gives. Thats if they do not touch PS. I still might vote NO for what I'm posting. I'm sick of ALPA giving up concessions in this money making environment. The company needs to pay us for all the hiring they are doing and will continue to do. We do not need these AIPs/QOL gives.
