4) We are universally known for being business casual hardcore for jumpseaters.

They care more than you see. Now stand up for yourself a little bit.
This.

I love when pilots claim "im gonna wear my hat because not doing it isn't doing anything ".

How do you know?

I’m fairly new to this game and unions but I’ll support the team to the best of my ability. EB doesn’t seem like the kind to be influenced by our campaigns until it shows a clear impact on the numbers. That’s just business. I just hope his negotiating strategy does not cause irreparable harm to those of us who will be here long after he has cashed out with his millions.

Too late. They had a fairly compliant pilot group heading into C2015. Got a bit testy, then they began ruining it with the optimizer. Their handling of Covid and hollow “Thank you’s” was the turd in the punch bowl. It’s difficult to rebuild trust.

Think you’ve been flying with the guys from Dixie…

Do they mention the cataclysmic irreparable harm that would have befallen us and the entire industry if TA1 would have passed in 2015?

And that’s why we have less leverage…. Those who don’t support the suggestions from our leadership undermine about the only leverage we have. Solidarity. Those who are individuals have no place in my union. Just stop paying dues and go away.

It’s jealousy, right? My mom says they bully us because they’re jealous.

Truly, negotiations hinge on the smallest of details.
That's why I wear my headset over my hat.

Any truth to this? I’m not on chit chat.

On chit chat:

Contract AIP Details and Direction in the works

Pay: 18% 5% 5% 5%

Retro: 6% per year from 2019 so 3 years, Still trying to figure out if called a bonus or Retro Pay. Not much support for payments to retired pilots but still up in the air.

Retirement: No changes other then some 401K excess funding of a MPP Plan still in the works but very little funding from Co. going into plan.

Deadhead: Best seat advl: Meaning Isle or window Intl: remains unchanged.

Perdeim: .25 increase Dom .45 Intl

Green Slip and Overtime: 1.5 for hours over monthly average WS of designated trips. GS RES paid as Line holder no day off returned. Still being worked out.

Holiday Pay: Parity with Flt Attendants 1.5 for trips over designated holidays.

SCOPE: I will put it this way, There is a reason you haven't seen it yet and it's not that they are working on the New Finial Language. Basically barely protects the Intl. flying we have now. And it clears out the Grievances for the KAL Violations of the past and present with a minimal payment. Need a decent AIP to wash the details of this SCOPE deal out so it's not looked at very hard.

Profit Sharing: No Changes to current, (Thank god, this time around they are not Trading it away for average pay raises like the Moakster's did in the past).

Endeavor Proposal in the works: Trying to Ink out a agreement regarding Hiring through Endeavor or some kind of Hybrid staple program for current pilots. Pilots hired through Delta assigned positions at EDV 3 year freeze similar to propel. Being discussed due to turnover at EDV costing a ton in training and affecting our operation. Different ideals being kicked around but with losses of 120 Captains a month there is a strong desire to stem that loss. FWIW

Sounds good. Put it out to a vote so we can vote it down.
