You finally posted something that I can get onboard with.

Personally, I think that profit sharing should pay quarterly. TVM and all that :D

for a technical question.............

I'm trying to do a swap with the pot. I'm swapping a trip later in Aug with any one of 4 trips earlier in Aug. Currently I have 4 separate swaps in, but can I do them in one? Will the system look at the first one I want then roll into the second I want etc. Or, did I do it right with 4 independent requests?

It's because ALL the 24/7 news outlets hire talking heads with perfect hair/teeth/boobs and only ask what a producer in their headset asks. I'm not sure which is worse in that regard, FOX or MSNBC. One seems to prefer blonds:D

Ferd,

I think you did it the right way. With the 4 independent one's, once you get one, it makes the others NA.

There are a couple of problems with your statements. The first is that no other employee groups at Delta are close to the buying power they once had. In fact you could make that statement about the entire industry. We do have some employee groups making the same hourly wage however that's a small part of the story. Their retirement went from a 60% FAE plan to a 6 % DC plan. Large employee segments were moved to part time. Other groups simply had their jobs eliminated or moved to DGS.
The second is stating how little we cost. Pilot costs have historically run from 6 to 10 percent of the cost to produce our product. You will not find anyone who has ever run a business call that little especially in view of the fact this is a industry with many fixed costs.
When you start this campaign management will simply state that Delta pilots are the best compensated pilots in the US passenger airline industry. The rest will fall to the NMB. What is your plan for them.
