So new hires,the lowest guys on the totem pole, on probationary pay, flying the line, generating profits.....are deemed unworthy? Someone negotiated the contract that way and someone ratified it. Maybe it needs changing, maybe not.
Like I said, if a newb bases his decision on where to go on this(or they deem it significant) I'd rather they not apply at my airline
BTW, what would u call it if you don't like "eat their young"
.......illogical....egregious... better for the other guys...."pay your dues" ....appropriate when taken in toto...reasonable.... ???? Justify it by saying "Well, I'll buy them a pop on the layover" IDK just curious
Believe what you like use eat their young if you like but in my years I have seen the new hire years get much better and at the moment pretty good. The profit sharing sorry didn't know how it was set up, dumb me. When I read what you write I wish DAL gave you an offer. I don't know how long you have been here or where you came from but I can tell you there has been a lot of hard fought battles here and I assume at the moment you are benefiting from some of those battle and negotiations. Again JMO, throw it out if you like.
