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.

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.

This effects all NWA pilots that havent hit the 12th year mark fwiw
The pilots at NWA that were furloughed at one point didn't care as much when this happened because they were given longevity for their furlough. This bumped some of those pilots up 5 years on the pay scale. Everyone else is either close to or already on the 12 year pay scale. There are only about 170 NWA pilots that are really bothered by this. Those same 170 pilots are the ones getting hosed on the retirement.
