Now that the MEC has confirmed it's looking at "at temporary modifications to the contract", I'd like to know more details on this group. How many are still in the Guard or Reserves? What's the age breakdown? How many have families? Now that the camel has a nose underneath the tent this is important information when considering any modification to the PWA.

If this is important information, then I would guess we need to know if their spouse is gainfully employed, how much she makes, how much their savings are worth, do they have a trust fund... ... etc???

Will also need to know what interest rate they have on their primary and secondary residence and what year their Miata is.

I don’t think so, not for everyone anyway - i.e. Just the VEOP & Long-term SIL equivalents. My SWA Capt neighbor told me the company did that all on their own, and SWAPA found out when everyone else did.

If the company decides to offer SILS, would they be available to pilots who are already on an unpaid leave?

They never needed to furlough those guys to begin with. They need them, it's all part of the negotiating tactics.

Just freaking furlough us or go away.

Next negotiating cycle negotiate i want contract language that all communication from the company has to come through the union first. I dont even want to know who is running the company anymore. If we wanna know what the company wants or thinks sailing fun will still be here to spread it around.

What the hell is Delta management doing? This 11th hour bs is enfuriating.

1721 furloughs save about $765,00 per day. Which is about 2.8% of our current burn rate

Probably for the holidays. Then we’re fat again until summer. That’s the way I interpreted the Jan 2021 cutoff.

I suspect it’s a similar process as those who return from leave too late to bid a line. This happened to me when returning from mil leave, and crew scheduling arbitrarily assigned me my reserve days. For those senior enough, I believe there’s leeway to move x days, and they said potential of a blank regular line. For those most junior (now 220), I think the reserve days will be at the whim of scheduling.
