Now Carl, (-and newknow, you noodling nitwit, and Capncrunch, you clueless conveyor of claptrap
) you're only stating a part of the whole story. True, the 1/1/09 and subsequent payraises are part of the JPWA and were contained in LOA 19, contingent on the merger. Notice I say contingent on the "
merger" only.........and
not on the "cooperation" or "contributions" of the NW pilots, which, of course, were then non-existant.
(for whatever reason)...(look at Stevens' testimony)But, your recent payraises, at DCC, (that averaged nearly 10%, BTW) are a pure move up to parity with the DL pilots. Had our
existing payrates not averaged 10% higher than yours, you would not now, nor at DCC have enjoyed
any such payraise. So, yes, we at DL, with great humility and a deep sense of brotherly magnanimity, accept your heartfelt expression of gratitude for your recent increase in "status". (as partially defined by ALPA merger policy)..... not a bad payraise considering the total of all your many "strenuous efforts" and "sacrificial actions" to achieve it, could be summed up as "occupying space".
