As I see it, it a company risk not a sacrifice! So what "sacrifices" have you made for the branded, DAL & Charter Ops?
No pay cuts but the Branded and Delta operation was moved off of CCS/CMS. This means that we must now call crew scheduling to make all trip trades and view the reserve grid. We aren't able to advertise our trips as well. It also means we have to do manual payroll. All this means that we are on our cell phones longer because of the longer wait times and also sometimes see errors on our paychecks which takes time to fix.

We are all on the same contract and of course there is a group grievance on all of this. Management has acknowledged they have violated the contract in these regards and are now just negotiating how to make the pilots whole. The pilots have been very patient with the company on the remedy and have lived with it since April although some pilots have either gone back to their old base or decided not to come out to the new bases until all if this is settled.

So, yes, there are sacrifices being made by those pilots everyday especially for those of us who were used to CCC/CMS.
