DPA contract survey is out with instant results upon completion. About 175 have taken it so far.

What a complete waste of time that must have been.

Not really. Took less than 10 minutes and the results were interesting to see.

Too bad it takes a contract with the devil to play....

It's all about unity and how the company views pilot sympathies. If only 30% of the pilots bother to fill out the survey the company is going to assume the pilots are satisfied with the status quo. Just as we have to put together a negotiating position management also must go through the same exercise. The degree of pilot unification and activity in the union they see will influence their budget for a new contract.

Huh, what?

Isn't that the precise reason why ALPA does not publish survey data?

Any Delta pilot can take the survey. You do not have to be a DPA member.


Go take it and lower the bar. Tic:)

Question about probation. Does this part of the contract meant that any days of mil leave over 60 cumulative (not consecutive) during probation will extend probation?

F. Probation
38
39 1. A pilot will be on probation until the earlier of:
40 a. 400 hours of block time (inclusive of OE),
41 b. completion of 12 months of aggregate service, or
42 c. conversion to a Captain position.
43 2. Aggregate service includes all time starting from a pilot's date of employment with the
44 Company as a pilot with the exception of the following:
45 a. periods of furlough, or
b. unpaid leave in excess of 60 cumulative days.

I know you guys will know the answer.

See page 60 of the Policy Manual. The seven days is for the MEC, not the line pilots comprising the membership.

I don't know the answer but I will ask you this:

Who do you want to work for? :rolleyes:

And why are you worried about probation? :eek:

Yes. Look up the definition of the word, cumulative.

Timbo's point well taken. My 2 cents, probably best to concern yourself with one job at a time. The first 500 hours on line after training is important for consolidation of what you have learned.
