The real question is why are you so worried about maybe 4-6,000 people?
How many people does DAL hire each year? Would something magically change for you if Endeavor was absorbed into the mainline brand DAL overnight?
Should former Northwest pilots receive something less because they were “acquired not hired” and are not actually Delta?
I really do not understand your elitism here, that is what it is. You think your better because you had a double breasted suit for 20 years and you are owed something in perpetuity ahead of the regional trash and their family that are beneath you because you flew “mainline Delta’s”.
Wow, again with the insults and insinuations. Retiree non revving was changed for the worse with this addition of S3A. I don't agree with it and would like my union to try and modify it. Nothing more. You and others here are really inflaming this discussion with insults and false accusations. No one on my side of the argument has called your side "trash" or disparaged you in any way. But your claims of elitism, "spoiled", and now this reference to our NWA merger with "acquired not hired" are new lows for reasonable discussions. This is about protecting my well earned retirement benefits. Oh, and I was with Delta for 32 years and 20 days.
