Except for that lack of profit sharing which puts us below industry standard for pay.... So I will say once again for those on the back of the room; profit sharing isn't pay! Unless you can guarantee it every year we shouldn't count it in out pay calculations. Why we ever have is beyond me, as its seems the most short sighted view ever.
Totally agree in negotiations to try to use your line of thinking. Of course there us the possibility that the union negotiator loses some credibility with management if they try to push that as a black and white gambit....the truth is somewhere in the middle

We have 2 types of compensation, fixed and variable. This is a good thing. The fixed compensation compensates you for your time at work. The variable compensation compensates you for your investment in DAL, either through the bankruptcy assistance or your being locked into the company for your entire career. The models are different and used in conjunction in every industry. The variable compensation usually is only applied to principles and revenue generators, so to do away with it now is foolish. We have something most "workers" don't.

Would you mind sharing your hiring stats? Good luck on the assessment and hopefully interview!

There isn’t a specific section dedicated to math. However when you do the multi tasking portion one part of the game (I guess you could say) is doing mental math amongst other things. It’s basic math, for example, 7-10+15=21. From there you have to see if that’s correct while doing other tasks. There’s a practice version on Cut-E airline assessments.

No dog in the fight since I don't work at DAL, and never will, but most negotiators see 1st year pay and benefits as a company problem, not a pilot/union problem. Why waste negotiating capitol for something that helps the company: getting butts in the seats. Usually, increasing 1st year compensation is an item the company brings to the table, and the union uses to get something they want. IJS.
