Unity at its best.
I write this knowing the majority have better attitudes than the few bitter authors on this website.
I don’t think anyone is bitter. The issue is the diluting of earned benefits. The rule change is driven by one thing: Delta’s balance sheet. Hence, the opportunity/appropriateness of this to be addressed by ALPA.
As far as earning full Delta benefits, I suggest applying to mainline. Delta is currently hiring the best qualified candidates in the industry through proven screening and interview process.
I remember where I came from (ASA and ANG), and that stoked my motivation to move on to a more lucrative career with a major. At this point, I’m not interested in diluting my near or long term benefits for the false argument of getting 9E pilots to work (ref: 9E commuter clause; BTW, I gladly give up the Jumpseat to anyone going to work).
For those who don’t think others want a bite of our profit sharing, read above. As is the case with non-con employees, management decides how PS is allocated.
