The latest group of new hires at NWA?

latest = last in autocorrect world....

Yep-am floored that most people are either oblivious to it or aren't disgusted by it if they are aware.
Just as dalpa blindly accepted DPJs 100,000 lb inclusion into the TA, you think they would have at least "thrown in" hotel rooms for new hires as a quid. There was a quid, right?
Yet another pulling up of the ladder one rung at a time.

Not sure it was blindly.

The argument was made that those jets "greatly help" DAL reign in corporate accounts which of course is good for the DAL pilot............

To be technical, you're now considered full when you hit your projected credit, not the ALV.

So, what was the quid? Giving that up HAD to be worth quite a bit. We received something, no? Pilots helping or "conceding" to bring in corporate accounts??
Of course not posed to you, ACL as I know you agree. This was "costed", no?

Who knows. Ask you reps, but, from what I understood, we did not take a bargaining credit on the CJ50 swap. There have been a few comments that the 23 IOE recovery obligations were traded for this, but I had not seen anything in formal print.

Of course no single pay rate has gone up more since I was hired then the new hire pay rates and first 5 year rates. First year pay when I was hired was 1500 a month. It went to 1800 a month for a long time after. Senior Captains then made about 180,000 a year.
On 1 Jan 2013 first year pay is 66 an hour and second year 91 on the lowest paying equipment we operate. Second year pay in 86 was 36.00 an hour. Lets see, then 36 for year 2 and this contract 91. We really yanked the ladder up on the junior guys!!!
The senior pilots pay has soared compared to the bottom!!! NOT!!!

So its a lot more fair and rational for one line pilot to be paid 10x another line pilot... at the same company?

One guy has some seniority and sits a couple feet to the left... but they're both pilots flying jets for Delta. That is a spread that should've, and is in the process, of being fixed.

When does the new sick leave intimidation policy go into effect? I haven't seen it in any of DALPA's implementation products.

For something DALPA touted as a "good deal" for us, they're pretty quiet about it now...nothing in TO's letter or anywhere else to spike the football over this "improvement."
