MEC Memo in a year -
"The company came to us and wanted to make permanent the Virtual Basing concept. They offer an mid-contract raise of 2% on top of the 3% we were scheduled to get. In exchange, they wanted to add international operations as the current agreement limits the use of Virtual Bases to mostly domestic. As this gives all Delta pilots a 2% additional raise, we decided to agree to their request".
Do you think the MEC would turn down a raise like that when 8000 pilots say yes and the 4000 international pilots (or whatever number) say "nooooo!"
