You don't check facts from randos on the internet? That explains a few things.

That chart is several years out of date and, I'd say, not terribly accurate. Several publications are no longer in print or even in business.
Plus, it's just one person's opinion.

can you believe this guy claims to be a line check airman?

what a clown lol

This is the "what is the other pilot gonna talk about this trip based on the apps on their home screen" chart

There is only one axis labeled "oh f#ck, here we go..."

If he's really a Delta captain, I would be nervous riding on his airplane with the amount of unhinged, hazardous attitudes and just basic lack of knowledge he displays here. Maybe he's just trolling though..

Just grabbed a clear version for reference. You can head over to their site for updates if you like. Little has changed in the big picture and it is well researched. Other media bias orgs consistently produce very similar outcomes, there is consensus on what is good and what is less so.

Starting a trip having never met the guy before and just looking forward to a long layover in SF to get some soup or sourdough or some good Thai food and a nice walk along the bay. He walks in before even saying hi and says "ready to go see the lawless socialist hellscape?" As a leftist or lib or (insert prejorative), I never talk bad about anywhere but Florida Man but that's a secular stereotype and pretty funny. Do you all who lean right have to deal with the left leaning pilots talking trash about a city before even introducing themselves? Genuinely curious.

Every contract negotiation since BK (when ALPA negotiated PS as part of huge wage reductions) there has been attempts by the company to "monetize" PS calculations, ie reduce them for a notional few % more in rates. The first contract post BK they were successful (would love to know what PS would be had the original calculations been preserved) and luckily in contract 2016 ver 1 (which was not passed by membership) wouldve again reduced the PS calculation to match what mgmt had already reduced the non cons to. When we rejected that change in contract 2nd round, then mgmt quickly raised the non cons back up to what the PWA had preserved. Only the latest contract negotiation did not include a proposal to reduce PS for more % on rates.

I understand the history, I remember when non-cons got less PS and when they got bumped up to ours. I just don't understand why it's written the way that it is in our PWA, because it seems like it cost the company 0 dollars when they raised the non-cons up to our formula, because it was coming from the same pool anyway and the money just came from the pilots' PS.

Yes, that's an updated version.
