This right here tells me all I need to know. I'm genuinely happy for you. May you continue to reap the fruits of your heroic efforts...
And a hearty congratulations again to Delta Air Lines executives and FordHarrison on another very successful conclusion of contract negotiations.

This post may help some keep this contract in perspective. As a long term disabled Delta pilot I received one benefit that I am aware of from this contract. An 18% increase in my life insurance policy. Unfortunately, there is a good chance that my estate will collect on this policy.

I would absolutely love to do better.
But when a pilot group that’s supposed to be the industry leader gives away a huge chunk of what they’re owed in retro, and accepts rates that fail to capitalize on the current pilot market, you kinda showed your lack of self worth and in the process hamstrung everyone else.
Just for laughs, take the retro you gave away and multiply it across the pilot group. That number alone makes a fantastic pay day for the executives and FordHarrison.
But really, bless your heart and congratulations.

I thought it was even worse than a concession. It was a third rail we would never touch. Virtually every poster on here said no contract ever without full retro! I posted here in late 2019 that time was the companies friend and they would let it work it’s wonders and we would never see full retro. That’s exactly what happened. For all of 2020 we got a 4% non compounding bonus that didn’t cover inflation. A entire year that cost the company 150 million. Funny how everyone on here blasted me for saying 1 billion in the first year was reasonable. You screamed 1 billion was woefully inadequate and voted to take a 1 time 150 million payment.
There is another large concession which is a 4 year contract. In TA2 even the union admitted the 4th year was a concession. We now over a certain 7 year period and probably 9 or 10 year period managed only 1 bite of the apple.

((did not know the NMB also set the parking brake and called whatever their version of Crew Tracking is))
Glad we got to where we did when the music abruptly stopped.

Sorry to those of you who were campaigning against this thing, and I’m sorry for anyone who is unhappy with the new contract. On the whole, I think it’s a pretty big win and I’m thrilled that Ed couldn’t keep his mouth shut on TV…probably netted us an additional $500M.
