Here was the stuff from Part 1:

C2019 Negotiations - Where We Are
The following is a high-level overview of active or completed PWA sections, LOAs, and additional negotiations. A table is provided at the end for a quick reference of the status of negotiations at the time of publication:
Tentative Agreements
ALPA and Delta have reached Tentative Agreements (TA) on the following sections. All TAs, which reflect full contract language, are subject to approval by the Delta MEC.
• Section 6 – Relocation
o (TA) Gains secured. Greater flexibility for qualifying moves, increased reimbursements and allowances. Increased insurance limits.
• Section 15 – Physical Examinations o (TA) Improved pilot protections.

• Section 18 – Grievances
o (TA) Improvements to discipline transparency and processes.
• Section 19 – System Board of Adjustment
o (TA) Clarified language to reflect current practices and incorporated System Board decision.
• Section 20 – Seniority
o (TA) Improvements for furloughed probationary pilots.
• Section 21 – Furlough and Recall
o (TA) Improvements to furlough protection.
Open and Active Sections
• Section 5 – Lodging and Expenses
o Currently open and active. A disparity remains between the Company and ALPA on per diem and crew meal provisions.
• Section 7 – Vacation
o Currently open and active. Wide disparity remains between Company and ALPA positions. Delta is 7th in the
industry in total vacation value. For more information, see C2019: Road to the TA 19-09 Section-by-Section:
Vacation.
• Section 8 – Deadheading
o Currently open and active. There is a wide disparity between Company and ALPA positions regarding deadhead seat provisions. Delta pilot contractual deadhead provisions are some of the worst in the industry, and repeated attempts to address this issue with the Company outside of negotiations have largely been ignored. For more information see C2019: Road to the TA 19-06 Section-by-Section: Deadhead.
• Section 13 - Leaves of Absence
o Open and active. The Company recently responded to this section three months after ALPA’s initial proposal.
• Section 16 – Crew Augmentation and International Operations o Openandactive.
• Section 22 – Filling of Vacancies o Openandactive.
• Section 24 – General o Openandactive.
Upcoming Sections
• Sections 3 (Compensation), 4 (Minimum Pay and Credit), 11 (Training), 12 (Hours of Service), and 23 (Scheduling)
o These sections will be opened in upcoming C2019 negotiating sessions.
• Sections 1 (Scope), 25 (Medical, Dental, Life Insurance), and 26 (Retirement and Disability Benefits)
o ALPA has met with the Company to discuss improvements to these sections outside of Section 6 negotiations. There is potential for agreement if the Company shows a willingness to address concerns over joint venture arrangements and improvements to our retirement. Absent any agreement, these sections will eventually be resolved in the formal Section 6 process.
Unopened Sections
• Sections 9 (Miscellaneous Flying), 10 (Administrative Pilots), 17 (Witness and Representatives), and 27 (Union Security and Check-Off)
o ALPA has no plans to propose changes to these sections at this time.
Completed LOAs
• LOA #19-01 — ALPA Communications, Aircraft Data & Personal Electronic Privacy
• LOA #19-02 — 2019 Day of Service
o Both letters of agreement were negotiated subsequent to C2019 openers.

Ongoing LOA Negotiations
• Two LOAs seeking improvements to both the Fitness Review Board (FRB) and current ARCOS practices are open and active.
Joint Venture (JV) Production Balance Negotiations
As required by PWA Section 1 E. 10., the NC is meeting with the Company to establish job protections related to current and future proposed JV agreements:
• Blues Skies Joint Venture
o Delta has approached ALPA to negotiate a possible production balance LOA for the proposed Blue Skies JV with Air France/KLM and Virgin Atlantic. In the meantime, PWA Sections 1 P. and 1 R. separately govern the Air France/KLM/Alitalia and Virgin Atlantic production balances and will continue to do so until an alternate agreement combining these agreements is reached. Negotiations are active.
• WestJet Joint Venture
o Delta has notified ALPA that it will be proposing a WestJet JV production balance LOA. Negotiations are
scheduled to commence in late October, and default provisions of PWA Section 1 E. will continue to apply in the absence of an agreed upon production balance with ALPA.
