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.
I would call you Contract Admin pilot. There is no other way around it. They will either site the part of the TFA that amended NWA practice, show you that it was a practice that NWA was doing and not policy or contractual, or correct it. Save yourself the time and call as well as e-mail them all of the details. This is what they do, and they are good at what they do.
