It totally is wage theft. Funny how they only seem to catch errors in their favor, but even after calling multiple times on things, it's only ever paid out to the pilots when the union gets around to the ACE. (Not blaming ALPA at all btw. People that think it's ALPA's fault for the backlog are a special breed.) And usually seemingly very quickly at that. Maybe Delta can add microloans to their profit profiles as that is what we are all being forced to give them, all while inflation still sucks.
Just imagine if another Fortune 50-100-whatever we are company was found to continuously under pay their employees $10('s?) of millions of dollars in wages a year, got caught doing it, and did nothing to actively address the systemic issue. It would be on the front of every newspaper and Breaking News segment on TV. Thanks RLA!

Weird, they told me it was automatic... 🤣🤣🤣 Good thing I knew better. I had to tell them I am going to read the pairing numbers anyway, just so it's on the tapes for the timeliness of the dispute. Don't care if they send to pay specialist or not, someone is eventually going to get some money.
