Good thing we didn't take the bait when DALPA tried to "monetize" our PS.

I resigned myself awhile ago to being a narrowbody guy for most of my DAL career. Now I'm starting to wonder if I'll even be flying outside the CONUS in ten years.

What an unbelievable defeatist attitude.

Can you help me out and explain the connection here, and give an example so that I can pass on the logic to those I fly with?

The "no monetization" framework I see is that with outsourcing, our level of higher paying international flying, and the associated salaries decline (the numerator in the individual PS equation), while the total salary pool of eligible salaries (the denominator) shrinks slightly less, but the profit stays the same, assuming just a transfer of flying (no growth). That's just slightly less PS for us, maybe not enough to notice.

With monetization, .... (here's where you explain or correct the above, please).

... our pay rates go up but our profit sharing payout goes down (assuming the pilots' share of the pie remains constant.) As we become more of an narrowbody airline it would have been a net negative for the majority of pilots.

There's reason there was a backlash against this.

We have a bunch of 350s, and 330neos coming. Pilot with 10 months seniority holds NYC765B, 1.5 years holds DTW330B and 2.5 years holds LAX777B. Even the DTW350B went significantly more junior than anyone thought. I just don't see the "we're a narrowbody airline" angst. Things are really going to get rolling when the new international terminal in Seattle opens giving Delta the capacity to revitalize the Pacific Network.

without 'monitization' ps remains and will always be in addition to pay rates.

paid as equity holders in the business.

with 'monitization', ps is absorbed into pay rates, likely to never be reestablished. and wages are always paid as labor, with no equity position in the business.

pay rates can evaporate with the stroke of a pen. with no 'automatic' recovery resulting from improving economic performance.

idk why the benefit of this arrangement is any longer a point of debate.
