Last year there was a resolution to poll the pilot group if they would like changes to the way we are all paid. I asked a MEM rep what happened to it . Was told that Moak did not like it so it was shot down. I thought it was a good idea to let the WHOLE pilot group be asked if they wanted the NWA STYLE of being paid (1/2 of your guarantee 34 hours on the 31st and on the 15 you would get the other 34 + hours flown above 68 and per diem).
I do not know when the old Delta pay chart was put into place, but if it was last done in 1986.... it should now be paid out at $5000 for inflation indexing.
