Yeah. Now Delta is trying to add a few weeks more to it. They're saying that our longevity date is the date the first guy finished IOE. Actually, NWA either moved it forward to the beginning of the month or to the first of the next month, depending on when the date fell.

Say your class' first guy finished ioe on Jan. 15th. Your whole class then would get their raise the following Jan 1st for the entire month of January. THIS was our longevity date. Delta is now trying to say that it is the 15th, and keep you on the former payrates for an extra 15 days.

Is this grievance worthy? I've talked to payroll and they're not budging. I'm going to do a little more research (don't have the old nwa contract with me on a trip) and then call contract admin if we still have that.

Any other fnwa guys dealt with this? It's around $500 difference this year jumping from 2nd to 3rd year pay.
