So Delta has until 1/1/16 to come up with their new contract.
This has been verified by a union officer for me.
I, too, thought July 1 was the drop dead date. It's not.

Not July, September. Unless you think arbitrators can time travel

Settle down Homey. Yes, I realize the arbitration would happen in September. I'm just pointing out that the process would begin July 1 and be arbitrated in September, and that the actual Delta pay rate would be for 1/1/16, not July 1 2015 as many believe.

But the rate has to be in place by September, and that rate has to be 29% more than they make now, odds of that?

Anderson would jump on that like white on rice! He is a CEO that can think past the end of his nose.

There isn't a Dal guy that believes that.

How will they agree to or arbitrate a pay rate adjustment with pay rates that don't exist in July/August/September 2015?

LOL.... So you think that he will increase his costs by 29%, not to mention the increase in the DC that comes with it, just so AAs costs go up a small fraction of that after averaged with DL & UAL....
Genius!!

It isn't a "cost" comparison... .. Never mind.

It won't matter. Anderson's cost will be much higher than Parker's because Glass is the genius. He has folks doing double back flip jack knifes trying to calculate 500 different variables... But the only one that matters is that Parker is raking in $10 Billion and is prepared to buy what he needs that he can't get in arbitration. Even so, pilots always go ugly early for Glass. Always.

The union president showed indignation that Kirby took away Retro.. How convenient for Kirby... If Wilson wanted to help Kirby more I don't know how he would.... Great timing. Haven't heard much else.

Actually, I know for a fact many of the chiefs and even Parkirby themselves got a lot of emails from those wanting to vote yes saying their coup-de-gras was in jeopardy over retro (two months bribe pay). Talk about a large chunk of the membership actually subverting their own union !

This group is toast and it's future as the bottom feeders of the legacy carriers is assured. 2020 is going to a downright hilarious combination of mirth and melodrama as the rats feed on each other.

Wait till 2020. Many of us will be falling over each other to help Parkirby and Glass hose the minority again for quick $$$.
