Something like that is a distinct possibility if 2500 guys approaching retirement vote en masse for a POS because no "retro" policy has been formulated during the quiet times( you know, when it's not needed).
Macht nichts to me, I won't be living under it for 20-30 years. Kinda surprised at the ambivalence of the younger guys, I see this only going sideways or neutral for them, there is no upside.
We all just share our opinions here.
In my opinion, we will make major gains across the board. In just 36 months Delta will be making $7 Billion annually from its new deal with American Express.
There is enough money times 10 for the gains we will attain.
Our younger pilots will benefit greatly. Higher value of vacation day, min day, training day, per diem, hourly rates, retirement, insurance, fix reroute, deadhead, scope, etc.
Seems to me you are trying to create I divide and deliver us for less to management. I hope I am wrong.
