The Delta MEC Negotiating Committee (NC) has reached a tentative agreement with the Company on LOA #20-03 Voluntary Scheduling Options. The agreement, if ratified, holds off 220 furloughs until at least January, 1 2021, and provides pilots in surplus categories with several new voluntary reduced value lines upon which to bid. It will be presented to the MEC next week at the Special MEC Meeting in Atlanta in open session. Following the presentation, the LOA will be posted to the Delta MEC website.

As stated in Delta town hall presentations, the Company approached the Negotiating Committee on Tuesday with an additional proposal. This new proposal would delay the remaining furloughs beyond October 1 in exchange for temporary modifications to the contract. The NC spent the week analyzing the proposal and will brief the MEC next week at the Special Meeting for their consideration.

After a MD to a fat category, I’ve been content doing 2 SC and maybe one trip for a full month res guarantee. Cutting the SC in exchange for a lower guarantee may do the trick. I’m guessing we won’t see the details unless it passes the MEC next week.

Clearly these are extremely minor effects of managerial foot-dragging. If my work/home life were in suspended animation as a 1941er while the company was playing these games I would be livid.
