Heyas Bograt,
It's because the
perception is that DAL guys don't read the contract past section 2 (compensation) and it's as if you guys measure the size of your John Thomas by the amount on your W-2.
Over on the NWA side, it's more about QoL and other non-pay rate issues. Sick pay, DC contribution, insurance, max duty day, minimum rest, reserve days, premium pay, instructors/training, call-in-honest/jumpseat, etc.
We've tried to point out some of these things, but all any of the DAL guys want to do is look at the W2 and shout "windfall! windfall!", when it is, in fact, close to a push.
Since there was no constructive dialog going on, we decided to wash our laundry in private. But don't blame us if you hang dirty skivvies on the line outside, and we point to it.
In reality, I'd MUCH rather have the NWA PWA with raises/tweaks than the DAL contract with the JPWA. That option was not presented to me (yet), so I will vote on the option that WAS presented to me, which was a good alternate.
