With the right contractual changes, I would almost vote yes to no hourly increase. See my point? It's all about the W-2.
Sit and have a beer with a SWA guy.
No way would I vote yes without substantial raises. We should see rates that are a few percentage points higher than SWA rates for comparable equipment. We should also see better work rules, a vacation and training day worth what a minimum day is, and a big bump in our 401K. We as Delta pilots should not allow anything less!
