OK, so what are the outsanding issues that need to be addressed? So far, I've identified.... (please feel free to fill in the blanks):

1) Procedural Concerns/Vol 1 Issues:

a) Most of the North procedures, and some of the South procedures, have been changed.
-Main arguments: the North thinks it sucks, and many of the practices they're adopting don't make sense to them. The South agrees it sucks, and even some of the few procedures we've adopted don't make sense.
-Consensus: changing procedures suck.
-Status: Flight Ops says it's not a Best Practice issue, but an "Expeditious SOC" issue. The promise is that we will develop better policies going forward.

b)[What else?]

2) Personnel/FOM Items:

a) Delta wants pilots to have YF shots.
-Main arguments: the North pilots don't wnat to be forced to do it [is it just the DC-9 guys?], and feel the South guys aren't interested. The South guys have already done it, not that we loved it, and many of us didn't realize this was an improtant issue. We're more worried about malaria, and the fact you can't vaccinate against it.
-Consensus: noboday wants unneccessary injections.
-Status: some modification has occured: DC-9 guys don't have to get YF shots.[Beyond that, I don't know. Don't know what guys want from here. Ask for waivers if they accept responsibility in case of sickness].
One editorial comment: not getting the shot AND expecting not to fly certain trips is a non-starter. Not for the company per se, but for the other pilots in category. If someone can't handle all the trips, they shouldn't bid.

b) The Delta JS policy is evidently not as good as the NW JS policy.
-Main arguments: North guys are more likely to commute, and this is an important negative change for them. South guys never had the NW JS polciy, and are somewhat less likely to jumpseat.
-Consensus: better JS policies are good. I'm not sure there is a consenus of what "better" means.
-Status: Flight Ops took a shot at better (with unionion input I'm sure), increased the windows, and is promising online booking soon.

c) [What else?]

3) Delta Corporate Practices:

a) The paycheck distribution is not evenly split.
-Main arguments: [be my guest]
-Consensus: They're definitely different. Some South guys are excited too.
-Status: [?]

b) Medical Benefits are not very good.
-Main arguments: I don't think there's much of a dispute here.
-Consensus: see above.
-Status: I ahven't seen anything to suggest any changes.

c) The Delta IT system is said to be retarded.
-Main arguments: North pilots hate it. South pilots don't think it's great, but this is the part where we got a little lost in the discussion, and words like "whining" got thrown about.
-Consensus: computers suck. We don't want to become experts. We want to sign in, print, and fly. We don't want to push F3, and OK three times to log landing currency.
-Status: I think some improvements have been promised.

...

These are the issues of which I'm aware. Feel free to add to the list.
