I'm not sure how you conclude Ed's pay. He gave up his salary and his options if he has any are probably worthless because the strike price is too high. His RSUs are worth half what they were issued at, so his total compensation is down at least 50%. Meanwhile he's still working his hours. By that example you'd be flying an 80 hour line at 40 hour pay.

Relax. It's not worth it. Here's why management is applying a double standard between the pilots and the rest of Delta (if you understand that, their lack of straightforwardness won't be so maddening). It has one goal only: keeping other employee groups from organizing. That's it! It has nothing to do with sharing the pain or being team players. But they will paint it as is.

The delusional egos of pilots. Flight attendants and gate agents have way more effect on Delta's success than us. You could replace us with thousands of other airline's pilots and no one would even notice! Replace the CEO and everyone would notice.

You’ve got it all wrong. On several points. First, pilots are closer to the CEO than they are to baggage handlers on a macro level. As in 12000-plus pilots as a group. On a micro level, sure, we are easily replaced by the next bubba in line. The difference there is Delta can hire any able-bodied person off the street and make them a baggage handler. To my knowledge, Delta has created zero pilots in their long history.
When you drop the humble act and acknowledge this fact, you realize that this is the distinction that makes it more realistic for a baggage handler to take an “unpaid” leave versus the pilot group or the CEO.

Foreign carriers do it all the time. Delta is just going the cheaper route (for now) due to ample supply.

Really? I have to keep remembering if the ceo is ed or Richard. I usually try to picture slicked back hair, but that doesn’t help. Then I have to move to the tennis shoes and remember. Of course, I also do the same with the head of Alpa and think mustachio in oil.

Then why did you bother going through all the trouble? You could’ve been a ramper inside of a week. Could’ve saved years of effort, and you wouldn’t have to worry about furloughs. It looks like you made a poor choice.
