Now wait just a minute. What do you mean profit sharing removed?
320/hr x 87 credit hours a month x 12 = $334, 000. You're taking 17% more away from me.

Total B.S. This makes me mad. I'm going to go set something on fire in the backyard and then drive up and down the street honking my horn. I'm so mad.
Wait? The MEC shot it down? Well, what the hell??? Without going to memory rat? That's just BS, they should have let us decide on that. What if we end up with some low wage with PS and never get to 320/hr? This makes me so mad. I'm just really gonna lay in on that horn.

As far as comparing us to OAL on sick leave, I have a question.
If I bang in sick for a 5 day trip because I'm sick for the first 2 days, and then there is nothing in open time to pick up so I just eat up the entire 5, then I'm out 28 hours-ish. So my one sick call was 5 days and 28 hours.
But over at Brand X airlines they may not even have 5 day trips. Maybe more 2 days. And if they're sick for the same amount of days, 2, then they may only be gone 2 days and 10 hours, I'm double that.
So at USAIR, Merican and UCAL, what is an average day pay? And what is an average domestic and separately international trip in days and hours?
Maybe we need to be relegated to 2 day trips, 3 max, and international is... 3 and maybe 4 at the max. Then sick leave won't be as expensive.
We just need shorter trips.

The C2012 where we left millions on the table and took concessions that were completely unnecessary. Domestic flying is up 25% and we have the same number of pilots.

Good article in AvWeek about fuel and fleet plans. Anderson is quoted as saying we have not altered our fleet plan for the lower cost of fuel. The article also refutes some of the wildely inaccurate estimates on fuel costs and yearly savings for Delta posted here. Our cost per gallon is going to come in at 2.45 to 2.50 a gallon in the first quarter. It was 2.62 4q last year.
