It isn't to you because you are still getting annual raises. To those of us at 12+ years it sure as hell is.



And you are right.... going from 25% to zero is not a concession, it is an abandonment.

Not getting something we don't already have but you WANTED isn't a concession.

A concession is giving up something we already had or weakening our work rules.

Come on guys, it's okay if you don't like this TA but at least be honest about what the definition of a concession is.

But you got a raise. Granted it wasn't pensionable, but you're getting a 4% raise in 2020. 10% raise in 22. and a raise starting today with pensionable retro. If you're on one of the banded up fleets, you're getting a significant raise. That's certainly isn't "nothing." You can argue that it's not enough but not enough is not a concession.

And we didn't go from 25% to zero. That's a disingenuous argument. We went from 16% to 18% which, last time I checked, was an improvement not a concession. If we measured contracts based on what we opened with vs what we got, literally every single one would be 100% concessionary.

Stay tuned for the increased executive compensation and stock awards. You will not be disappointed, and you certainly won't take any concessions.

To Delta Pilots, congratulations on your new, hard-fought contract that you were willing to strike for. Enjoy these fantastic, non-concessionary gains and thank you for everything you do.
Let's see you do better instead of casting stones.

Those are not raises. They are bonuses. Today is a raise based on rates that haven't changed in 4 years. Like I said, I'll bet management would sign a 0,0,0,18% contract every four years in a heartbeat. But yeah, it isn't 'nothing'.

And it is not a disingenuous argument. We get ZERO improvement this year. In case you haven't noticed, many of those that got pummeled in bankruptcy are leaving THIS year. THEY get nothing. But you get yours, so all is good, right?

You have a lot of bad information and are being intentionally obtuse. They didn't sign a 0 0 0 18. They signed a 4, 0, 10, 4. With all those retirees that retired last year and in 2020 getting their raise as well. And there are improvements this year. There are improvements starting tomorrow and pretty much every month or two through the end of the year. You can be mad that it didn't meet your expectations but you cannot be mad that there are concessions.
