My point is, it’s a weighed average. Does Delta have a no questions asked 1 flight commuter policy? The year two AA FO NB rate is higher than Delta, and AA will cash out sick time, for 200k at retirement. AA will pay 4K for a TDY assignment.

I don’t think you’ll find a post of me advocating to be dead weight, and don’t think anyone has ever advocated for that.

Southwest doesn’t even get paid by the hour, my point was, I don’t plan on obtaining a PHD in every company and the nuances of how they operate with regards to their contract and claiming my weighted average of importance is more important than yours and I calculated it at a higher cost the company according to me. Then rubber stamping a “1up”.

I admitted AA missed, I don’t have control over how are why and never justified a miss is palatable because we don’t need to “1up”.

I guess your arguinging if they didn’t miss it still wasn’t a 1up?

At the end of the day it sounds like Delta makes all their money with a “GS” which I am not familiar with, but sounds like buying you off a trip and and paying you premium for the new trip. I am not sure if they do that in straight seniority or if a pilot has those days as off days then they can skip the seniority of a conflict.

AA contract allows the company to conflict you and pay you for both, but it comes after just giving it to a pilot who has those days off, and there is always someone with the days off.

Also it seems as though Delta shares “GS” where you get a second turn after everyone has had a chance at 1 turn, and AA is seniority order where you don’t get any turns unless pilots senior to you abstain. Which one is “1up” is largely dependent on seniority.
