The guys that wrote it were not born yesterday. It may mean less on your W-2 but it means more W-2's attached to Delta Pilots.
I completely agree. Not to mention it hoards the wealth for the more senior among us while g-slips and such spread it. More equal opportunity.
I still think IA's should be 2x pay for reserve pilots. I didn't take up any of the IAs offered this past week because frankly they were not financially good deals and enough incentive to give up time at home with family over the weekend to work. 2x pay and I'd more than likely been out the door with my wife pushing from behind.
