Most regional & non union contracts are better than Delta's, which makes the expectations of new hires kind of out of sync with the expectations of Delta and ALPA.

We need at least industry standard:
Full duty credit for deadhead days
75 hour min reserve
Crew meals on 11 hour days where max turn time is 38 minutes
No more extending reserves with 24 hour break away from base (went more than 20 days flying every day once)
Defined financial penalties for non compliance with contract
Require all new, revised, or renewed contracts for outsourced flying to be staffed by Delta pilots
No selling of more than 25% of seats on partner (we need to attack the Alaska carve out)
