Just to trying to get the facts on this, thanks

170ish is the total number of pilots hired post 9/11. The other pilots that haven't hit the 12 year mark got their longevity back so therefore the 2 month difference isn't as big of a deal for them. Thus leaving the 170 of us fighting to get this changed so we're all on the same pay schedule.
As far as retirement goes, that effects ALL pilots not just the 170. All the DAL-N guys are getting a significantly less amount contributed each month until 2012. Maybe when we hire and guys realize that the newhires are getting more than them they'll get the fire started under there butts.
We were specifically written out of being included in getting our longevity pay hump at of DOH like what's written in the contract thus the heartburn.
We've filed and passed resolutions in regards to this and each time we did the MEC shot it down
