How about Vacation, Retirement, Min daily pay, Monthly Guarantee, Revision and Extension Pay, Block Override and International Override? How many DAL pilots are on those wide-body rates? How much of their career is on those rates?
I can clearly see many have G Locked on a pay rate. If we are just chasing a pay rate then are we willing to take the rest of DL's contract? We are paid based upon a pay rate multiplied by numerous other work-rules and factors. Lets not forget those ALL IMPORTANT underlying factors as I mentioned above.
I have another novel idea, although not popular on the inter-web complaint boards. Lets let the full language come out. Lets actually see the language. Then lets look at what we already have that far exceeds many of the bullets on the AIP document. It will be surprising to some, but many areas we are far superior on currently.
I've been hearing this same narrative from a small group of people lately. It's almost like they're scared of the Delta AIP and what it might mean to us, and they're trying real hard to defend what may have already been TA'ed. Pay no attention to the Delta TA! Everything we have is so much better! Ignore the pay rates! They are irrelevant! Do not arouse the wrath of the Great and Powerful Oz! I said, "Come back tomorrow!" Do you presume to criticize the Great Oz? You ungrateful creatures! Think yourselves lucky that I'm giving you audience tomorrow instead of twenty years from now. The Great Oz has spoken. Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain! The Great Oz has spoken!
NoWork claims he doesn't have an office on Kirby, but I'll bet he knows his way around the place.
