So if you look at what we’ve been doing in the business we’ve really taken the labor risk totally off the table at Delta. And our employees are fully engaged in they are delivering a great product. And that's one of the key de-risking events that we've undertaken at Delta that’s unique to the company. And we’re not -- it’s one of the most valuable things we have and that relationship is very important to us. And we will continue unabated on the track that we’ve been on for a decade. ----------------------------- Richard would not and could not have made that statement unless our union has already been purchased as a wholly owned subsidiary of Delta. You could never make this kind of definitive statement about what WILL happen with regard to another entity unless you CONTROL the actions of that entity. As I've said before, Delta is a non-union airline. But Richard is more than happy to indulge the delusion for those who think they belong to a union. Carl |
tracking hours
Anyone have a good app or an online source to track/calculate the 100 hrs in 28 days? The 117 calculator from ALPA isn't quite cutting it. It's a nice app, but is a pain in the butt to use.

Wow, did Ed really say this: "We particularly with Air France scale I mean I’ll tell you our JV is predicated on a 50-50 sharing on capacity and there are some years that we maybe a little bit below or little bit above that benchmark but that’s a key governor on the capacity decision..."
Bring us to the same "little bit" above as our accrued "below." And do it by March 31, 2016 on a three year loop-back. Show that you will make it right and agree to a double penalty should you fall short. or perhaps GS/IA flying for all pilots pays out at 4x until the JV balance remains above 50% for 36 consecutive months.

There have been some EASK adjustments, but your numbers appear low based on the last known data points which were a deficit equal to 7 JFK-LHR daily round trips on a 767-400. Probably 8 jets worth of flying and we are currently staffed around 25 pilots per jet on the 765. Then you must consider the stove pipe effect of what 200 positions in such a senior category would have on the rest of the operation.
It isn't huge, but it is more than half of the movement we attribute to the 10 330's headed our way. |
From the earnings call. Here comes a cost neutral raping of our profit sharing. I can hear it now, this is another big win for the pilots. It's not a concession.
This question was an inside set up. IMO. As a follow-up to that and the hypothetically, if your primary competitors were able to reach the same level of operational integrity along the lines of what you were discussing earlier but without as [generous] profit sharing mechanism, would you ever revisit that structure? Richard Anderson - Chief Executive Officer We’re not going to get into, Jamie, the details of how those conversations go. Those are internal conversations. I would only note that the last time around with our pilots, Ed, what we… Ed Bastian - President We did restructure the profit sharing arrangement two years ago. And I think as we look forward to that, we’ve got a number of things that we can work with to help fund some of the heightened expectations but we’re not, as Richard said, we’re not going to share those details on the call. |

Cheers George This is top end job stuff, just like virgin. 717s are bottom half jobs. You want movement/progression, you gotta watch the top end stuff. I like the 4x green slips, but that still monetizes it and affects mostly senior guys. We have to get some sort of penalty provision that structures in concrete protections. If 4x green slips/IAs were during the whole noncompliance period across the board though, I think that would be a deterrent. |

I wonder how much better our contract would be if ALPA presented management with even a little bit of "risk". It's one thing to have a cooperative relationship but to be so compliant that management says we are "totally off the table". That stings. |
