If the company got away with not paying half of the affected pilots, and this closes that gap…the pilot group doubles our “penalty” pay. You and I agree that what is happening in practice is unacceptable. It’s bad for the pilot group and bad for our operation. But I’ve also heard the estimated underpayment is far worse than 50% and other than our and our union’s own due diligence, we currently have no good mechanism to find and correct all of the 23M7 deviations.
I don’t think there is a punishment here, so that’s a failure. But the path forward is better than status quo, and that’s coming from a guy who supported batch limits.
Delta loves their data…it’ll be interesting to look at the data of 23M7 payments before and after this new obligation.
