No doubt our tax rate will go up in upcoming years, and they will go after our 401ks with a tax based on how much you have saved..There is no way you can look at the United States and think everything will ok going forward.

Wait, I thought debt didn’t matter? Paul Krugman said so!!

“...it’s becoming increasingly doubtful whether there’s any right time for fiscal austerity. The obsession with debt is looking foolish even at full employment.”

Yes, he really said that - less than 2 years ago. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/01/09/o...r-of-debt.html

This is the giant of progressive/liberal thought.

If recent administrations are an indication, deficit spending increases under Republicans/conservatives and decreases during Democratic admins. The difference tends to be the Republican deficit spending benefits the wealthy while Democrats tax the wealthy to make up for the shortfalls. Can't wait for the tea party to become a thing again despite the glaring silence during the Trump admin on increasing deficits during a "booming economy".

The CS ninjas have a few more variables now and other departments working against them. My example: I'm scheduled for reserve the last 8 days of the month. I drop dead for currency the 22nd. Instead of bringing me in on my off days and paying me 8 additional hours they are almost certainly going to pay someone else 32-50 hrs on a GS. Scheduled me for the sim the 29th.

How long is that law/decree/whatever in affect?

Oh no they aren’t!!

my awarded schedule was 19-31st of Dec....my 30/168 would expire at 1800 on the 24th, thus allowing me to sit 30hr rest on Christmas.

I was awarded a two day RES trip on the 19th-20th, and immediately placed into 30hrs of rest...the final nail in the coffin after failed PD, APD, PB, and IVD attempts.

Sounds like he's been hanging with Dick "deficits don't matter" Cheney.

Make sure you don't go to the dog track with either of those guys.

So UNA guys have been getting guarantee since essentially March. We did not fly on hardly any fleets from March-June.

A lot on my fleet converted in June to UNA. So 6 months of 72 hours-76 hours.

Now with PSP extended they are getting an additional 4 months of pay at guarantee. Meanwhile I worked 14 days this month for 73 and change.

This is no fault of their own.

Meanwhile we are cancelling flights over two holiday periods now, Thanksgiving and Christmas. Phone is ringing off the hook (I just blocked Deltas number until it’s time to go back to work).

Nobody in management is held accountable for anything. Their games have cost them a lot of money, all for nothing. I don’t care enough about the company itself to follow its every newsletter or email—but sure is frustrating to see something play out like this.

In a vacation month we can work 10 days now for 73 hours. While our brethren (again by no fault of their own) work 0 hours for 72 hours. I mean IMO if you’re not an affected pilot, you should get a 10 hour per month override for being on the roster. This is getting ridiculous.

Oh—and my UNA buddy got himself a kush little job as a “process manager” for $23.50 an hour at a frozen pizza factory. Four 10 hour shifts a week for an additional $3,760 a month to make sure the machine is putting the right amount of sausage on the pizzas. On the bright side delta did give me the opportunity to come into work over Christmas on a green slip. 10:30x2= 21 hours x $155ish an hour hour and I can almost make as much as the UNA friend who’s managing the frozen sausages this month! I still come up $505 short though. $3750-$3255= $505.

Amazing. Our management NEEDS SOME TEGRIDY! So blessed to be part of the worlds greatest airline. Merry Christmas Deltoids.
