Come on, now, Ted. Comparing GSing to Scabbing ain’t even in the same galaxy. Not even a little bit.

GS is in the contract. Crossing a picket line isn’t. Let’s keep our eye on the ball, and our fire outside the circle.

Probationary guys here on first year pay picking up flying isn’t the issue, they are in survival mode.
It’s the pilots who have been here for years and who KNOW better that’s the problem.

At this point wearing a hat and no lanyard says

Decent email out from C44 this morning. Here’s the part I appreciated the most:

“Regarding compensation, we have repeatedly, and unequivocally, made two particular points since we took office:
  1. It is non-negotiable that the Delta pilots will be made whole from inflation, and
  2. The Company cannot be financially incentivized to delay a contract beyond the amendable date.
Regardless of other items within the economics package, their Section 3 compensation proposal fails to achieve either of the above. From our perspective, any proposal that falls short of inflation or fails to achieve retro pay back to the amendable date implies our executives believe they can get away with reducing our standard of living or enjoying a windfall by delaying a contract beyond the amendable date and anytime a pilot drops off of our seniority list due to mandatory retirement.”

We made billions of Amex kickbacks during a total lockdown year. We're forecasting 7B from Amex by '24. We are charging 25% more for a seat than we did at the beginning of '19. Our revenue premium over our competitor set is over 15%. What questions are left to answer?

The more they hold out the more we begin to act like our competitor’s pilots. No more going above and beyond with that Delta Difference. It’s also the FAs that are pulling up the reigns too. Not being fiscally acknowledged for what we do is going to get them in a world of hurt, and I don’t think Sleepy will stick around to see it.

Anybody else notice in C44 update an unexplained line on an inflation chart at 7.88%? Makes me go hmmm. But maybe I missed an explanation somewhere.

Don’t fly sick
Don’t fly tired.
Don’t fly hungry.

7.88% is the “made whole” inflation number since Jan 2020. There’s an even amount of area above that line and below that line extending to the actual inflation line.

(Cumulative Inflation was less than 7.88% until July 2021 and more than 7.88% after July 2021 for the duration that the contract has been amendable.)

Basically that’s percentage number of retro pay that we’d need over our lost earnings since the amendable date due to inflation.
