I follow DAL/NWA current events pretty closely and I've never heard of this issue before.
Did you raise it when the JCBA was being negotiated?
I agree with you though and I welcome you to Delta.
We need all the militant no voters we can get.
This is an issue and it was grieved and resolutions filed only to get shot down by the MEC. We basically got, tough, there arent that many people effected by this...
The NWA side said they had it in the original PWA but when the DAL side shifted on their own with mgmt and then fuel skyrocketed they said they couldnt get it in the final PWA.
the problem is that IF we hired newb pilots those pilots would get their pay longevity at DOH making those of us senior to them on a substandard longevity pay. Not to mention that a new hire tomorrow would have 12% starting right away while the rest of the NWA pilots are on substandard % as well.
ALL of this was grieved and resolutions passed but the MEC threw it out as no action taken! It needs to be fixed so that we're all paid equally.
