A buddy of mine sent me a text "The more I think about it the whole scope thing really ****es me off. ALPA's whole argument for rj's is that it feeds mainline. But now Delta, and it seems ALPA, are pushing for more RJ's as need for getting the 717 or 319. You're trying to tell me that we need more 76 seat jets to feed the 110 seat jets we are going to get?"

Supposedly we'll be above WN's current 737 pay in 2015 with this turd... at 216.92 vs. their 216.22. 12 year 777 CA rate= fdx's in 2015.

Wait, what?? If SWA pilots are getting 216.22 and they contribute 10% to their 401k, they are still getting paid 216.22, their hourly rate does not change. Then you add the additional contribution to the 401k that the company adds, and their total goes to
236.76.

If we are making 216.92, and we get 15% added to the DC, that would be that 249.46 that you mentioned.

If you are going to consider 401k pay as total compensation,for them you have to do it for us too.. so the gap isn't nearly as big as you are trying to sell... almost $13... 3 years from now.

That sir is a VERY good question. One that I will be asking at the first roadshow I attend, and it will be in an email to my reps...

Nothing against Dci pilots. Hell, I was one. Just irritated that we had to "meet and confer" in the first place.

That's the used car salesman in slowplay coming out...

DCI already makes up at least that in each class as it is. Let's get our blood pressure up over the right things in the contract.

I am deeply disappointed.
That is one oddity here. 35% be DCI. I'd get it if it were 35% be ALPA DCI. But just any DCI? Are they negotiating for the Teamsters too?

....
Just saw your post 80, I agree, 35% is just not even worth talking about as it's so low. Don't know why they bothered with it though?

I thought it was ALPA DCI only...
