If you want Delta pay now, go to airline apps and apply away. Speak with your feet like the ~370 pilots have this year. If not, then there’s no point whining now after a new deal was signed. Give it a rest until the start of the next round of negotiations. It’s counter productive and all you do is raise the blood pressure for no reason. You’re gonna get 17% 401K soon, 318 or higher Sept 1 2023 and definitely more than 331/hr for Sept 2024. It’s gonna work out fine.
Shy, I whole heartedly disagree with this sentiment. All issues need to be addressed with this contract at all times. Why would we wait 3 years to shine light on inadequacies? The more we expose the holes, the better we're prepared to patch them for contract '26....errr 7 or 8. Most of the VXers were vocal for 3-4 years AFTER the JCBA was signed and I'm glad they did. It opened a lot of eyes....
Also, stop telling pilots who belive we are worth more, to leave. If everyone that was willing to speak up and demand parity, left, all you'd have remaining are the 92%ers and you'd be flying around for $280/hr right now. Pump your breaks on that ish....
or better yet, everyone that insists on telling anyone who doesn't lap up the company kool-aid to leave, take your own advice and leave this thread and go read a different one.
