Let me start by saying I think this is crap and DOE should equal date of pay for all Delta pilots.
However, really it only means two months. You spend 14-15 months at year 1 pay and then you step up every 12 months. Therefore you end up short 2-2.5 months wages at the difference between your year 1 pay and whatever you "could hold" at the start of year 12 pay. (Which right now is roughly I think M88A and 9FO, pay/bennies as of 2009, when this occurred)
M88A $149.07
DC9B -52.09 = $96.98
x 70hrs. x 2 months= $13,577.20
x 11% retirement = 15,070.69
x 175 pilots=
$2,637,370.75
cost/DAL Inc. revenue 2009= 2.6mil/35 bil = 0.007535345%
cost/12,000 pilots = $219.78
This is very fuzzy math but you get the idea. In the grand scheme of things it isn't a lot to a corporation, and still not that much when divided among 12,000+ pilots over the effective period of a PWA.
Its friggin' chump change to make these guys whole!!! As a DAL-S guy, I say FIX THIS for my union brothers!!!
