If you don't think our management team is NOT going to come after concessions now, I can't help you.

Saw it..not a fan of what he said but I also don't see how a plan that does not change payrates or major work rules is seen as lobbing a grenade.

our management was gonna nickel and dime us for concessions no matter what anyone else did. conversely I think if AA and B6 don't furlough that also puts pressure on them not to lay off thousands of pilots.

work less but not for less

So tell them no.

The concession ball has been set in motion. B6 kicked it off.

Mic drop! The hypocrisy in here is astounding.

No, they can not. Any changes to pay rates (including increases - yes, it’s happened) require membership ratification.

Section 23 allows certain modifications for furlough mitigation, including reserve adjustments, credit caps, line values, early outs, voluntary leaves, etc. We don’t know what they agreed to, but they didn’t change pay rates.

the actual policy is any “change to contractual pay” not pay rates. Any pay change including a credit cap, lower guarantee, etc. I don’t know why everyone thinks just because they mention credit caps as a furlough mitigation discussion topic that means the MEC has full rain to do whatever they want with a credit cap.

that list is “included but NOT LIMITED too”. Don’t be a lemming.

I’m addressing the other Delta pilots that think we are screwed because B6 gave up...(we don’t know).

For all we know, they gave up Dasani water bottles in the pilot lounge to be replaced by Kirkland brand.

Breath and let’s see what happened before we develop a “hot take”.

I like Kirkland better

you are all stuck on “pay rates” instead of “contractual pay”. These two are very different and should not be confused with each other. Of course they weren’t going to change our pay RATES. But I can almost guarantee they are changing our pay and without feeling the need to get ratification by the pilot group.

if that is the case a major recall is in order.

Yeah Dasani tastes like hotel hot tub water anyway.

I don’t like how the company describes it as, “in exchange for short term changes to the CBA,” in the latest company wide news blast to all employees. Semantics, but propagandist.

Or try filing a sec 23.a dispute. Might go a little quicker than a recall IMO. Maybe?

you can’t dispute your own MEC making a unilateral decision without pilot ratification. Once the LOA is signed there isn’t much recourse Besides recalling those who felt it was appropriate not to get the pilot groups ratification blessing.
