Everyone complaining about retired DAL employees going behind 9E - simply put it’s a business decision. 9E has 6,000 employees in the whole network. How many DAL retirees (now separated from the company and not providing anything for the DAL bottom line) are there? Why are you not complaining about DPJ? DAL got tired of paying 3 revenue pax $3000 each to get off the 8am because the 9 retirees got on the 6am several dozen times a week. You want to solve this problem? Fix your scope clause.
Spot on. Fix our scope clause and this is a mute point. But ego gets in the way.
I have no issue with the company putting WO 9E on board ahead of retirees. They are actively contributing to the bottom dollar. They should be on our seniority list. But those retirees sold out scope.
Besides how many active 9E pilots have a DOH older than our retirees??? Correct me if I’m wrong S3A vs S3A is determined by DOH. Is this what they’re really arguing about?
