We should negotiate Section 6 with reference to industry pay ONLY and demand that Delta Pilots get an industry leading payscale.
Equating PS to pay is a losing strategy and will cost us at the negotiating table. Calling it a concession and getting rid of it, along with a comprehensive reassessment of the PWA to "Restore the Profession" is the answer.

From the scheduling reference handbook (please read it early, read it often).
What If I Do Answer the Phone on an Off Day?
A pilot’s obligation to accept a trip on X days or regular line off days is not absolute, whether the trip is the result of a white slip (same day or next day), yellow slip, green slip, or inverse assignment. A variety of circumstances might make accepting such a trip impossible. For example:
• Not being physically located so as to be able to report.
• Having consumed alcohol.
• Lack of available child care.
• Lack of available transportation.
• Not being adequately rested. For example:
A pilot, not on call, notified of an inverse assignment should consider whether he is sufficiently rested and fit for duty to accept the scheduled rotation.
A pilot is not required to accept an inverse assignment if he cannot meet the requirements of FAR 117.5 and certify fitness for duty for the assigned rotation.

It's actually a concession offset. An offset against concessions you didn't have to make, since you weren't working for Delta at the time. One of the items being offset, was the loss of a pension. Don't be surprised if you don't get too much sympathy from the people who had to purchase the PS WITH concessions.
Doesn't mean you're not entitled to discuss what the combined group should do with common equities, including the PS, going forward. If you want to trade the PS, knock yourself out: you're entitled. But spare us the disparaging labels, and the attendant insult.
