I personally rue the idea of any reserve pilot getting more pay than a line holder.....talk about a paradigm shift....reserve more senior than a regular line? Hmmmm. Interesting indeed. But I guess you are for that one because it lines YOUR pocket?
Somebody **** in your cheerios this morning? I didn't cut and paste, I quoted a portion of someone's post, and you'll note I didn't erase his or her post so others can still read it - amazing!
I have no interest in hotels or Delta being part of my vacation planning calculus. Not sure why that bugs you so much? I don't use hotels; my family prefers Air BnB and VRBO. I'm supportive of his other SC idea and stated why. The broader support we have across the seniority list for certain proposals, the better IMHO.
Just so I know your rules for me in this thread and others... should I limit my posts to items I want improved for others that don't affect me?
Plenty of reserves make more than line holders, as I'd have figured you knew if you'reyou'reat Delta. ALV is average, and significant numbers of line holders are awarded and keep lines worth less than 72 and less than ALV-2. They often clean up on GS flying and generate well over 100 hours of credit. If you've looked at wide reports recently (and for all the years I've been with Delta), you'll also know that it isn't a paradigm shift since reserve was improved in recent contracts...plenty of senior pilots love reserve, and I know multiple junior line holders who are thrilled by that fact (since they'd be commuting to reserves otherwise).
Lastly, I'd like to confess I took (and keep) this job to line my pockets. Not to see the world or please the traveling public...but to earn income to support my family. I'm shocked you pegged me so well without actually knowing me!
Anything else you want to stomp your feet about?
