So...according to my profit sharing check Delta thinks I'll make $14,100 this year. I am on new hire pay but that seems a bit low...

Well...you could demand more, but that's not a strategy.

Welcome to the bigs.

Precisely. Which is why you should, if you choose, read my books chronologically.

BTW, I'm a former Democrat, turned Republican, now Independent, if it matters. I'm pretty much as middle of the road as you can get. I've been extreme on both sides. Marched in protests against nuclear weapons during my college years, carried the nuclear football 18 years later. Flew in wars for commanders in chiefs I respected, and some I didn't.

I was raised as the son of an Air Force officer from a family of Democrats. I was completely unaffected as a military pilot until my White House assignment. You'll get the gist.

Now, I stand for our military and the threats we face. And our industry. Politics bores the **** out of me. I'm very sensitive to the outcomes however.

Middle of the road and outcomes?

We will have a great discussion. I'll buy the beer.

The methodology is explained on the website. It took your Jan - Jun income, doubled it, then paid 5%. For new hires or anyone else with lopsidedly low income though June, this makes for a small payment. After the 75% to the 401(k) and taxes, I netted $16.94. Told the wife I'll pick up the movie tickets for our date night, but popcorn's on her....

But if what you are saying is correct, then line holders are being held hostage to capped reserve days for no good reason.
Not sure. I've just had multiple occasions where I had a GS in for a trip with no reserves avail to fly it. Then, they DH someone in to fly it or split it up in to pieces and give it out to RES in small pieces. Frustrates me because we can't split up trips to give the last or first leg away like SWA does, but scheds can cut up trips like a Japanese chef. And it is hard to piece together if they are even looking at the RUO at all.

My wife is buying hardwood floors with mine. She said I could make my own popcorn.

The choices offered within many question on the survey are troubling. Too many choices to move the wrong direction with fewer to restrict more productivity for example. Less flying, more pay should be the goal. We don't set goals in this union however.
