Not necessarily. What if you are senior and you get 2 one day GS's and the guy junior to you gets 2 4-day GS's because that's just what happened to be there? Goes both ways if we had a RAW score for GS's instead of just the number assigned. Should actually be more in favor of a senior bidder.

It's because that is what they do. They had efficiencies that they always could take advantage of, but were probably unable until the merger synergies reached a certain point. Anything else they could get in the negotiations were gravy. But like Ferd said, my QOL is much much better than it was before the contract. (and I'm junior in my category too)

The old system steered all the food to only certain customers, the GS distribution improvement makes sure that everyone gets to eat, in seniority order.
It sort of feels to me like you're obsessing over OPP (other people's plates), after everyone's been served. When it was your turn, you were in a hurry, and you asked for the salad, but now that someone else is having the steak, you want an extra dish before everyone can move on to desert?
Put me down as a "no", on this one.

A big problem I see with the reserve system is that the company has the luxury to use reserves from any base to cover any other bases' flying without penalty. If you are a lineholder in a category that is thin on reserves, too bad for you because you are unable to drop trips. The company on the other hand can cover your bases' trips with a reserve from a fat category with no penalty.

[QUOTE=LivingTheDream;1631828]I thought we all knew we were getting into a seniority based system. I agree to a small leveling of the good deals (ie., all offered 1 gs before a second gs is offered).
But seriously, now we want to level the time awarded? Where shall we end this socialism... we take turn
I want PBS to start working our schedules vertically. In other words, after #1 in category gets his or her first trip, it goes down to #2 in category and so on...is that too much to ask?
I keed, I keed

Is the odds of that happening worth:
1. the 10-22 additional X-days each year
2. The 2-10 additional hours of pay each month
3. Reduced "full" number 3-6 times a year
I'll take the new system hands down. It is designed to give and does provide more scheduled time off for more pay than the previous system.

Honest Question...
Did every Delta Employee get a shiney new master card in the mail, or is it just me? I don't remember applying for one, and I don't remember seeing any company communications regarding the company issuing one. If this is a Delta sponsored program, why is this the first I am learning of this? If not, I need to get lifelock!
BTW, it also says its a debit card... who's account does it connect to, and how much do THEY have in their account?
