So you support punishing me for something I am neither involved in, nor have any benefit from. You chose to support lower pay for fellow DALPA pilots. Some unity.
The NWA union decided how to hand out that money. Dalpa negotiated a agreement where the company would provide you full funding over most of your career. The fact that your prior union did not feel its a priority is something for another discussion. I simply explained the facts of why there was not immediate pay parity on the DC plan. The fact is the former NWA pilot group will receive more cash toward retirement funding then the former Delta pilots.
This was actually Delta's first merger where there was immediate parity on pay. In the prior mergers there was a 3 year phase on on pay rates. Man would you be upset if that were the case!!!!
