My W2 has double since we filed chapter 11 on the same equipment. Many others posted that on here. Delta pilots earned the highest average salaries in the US passenger industry in 2013. In 2014 the numbers will be even better. We also had the highest block hour costs. For such a terrible union quite a recovery from the bankruptcy court!
Pretty anemic recovery for the industry leading passenger air line. I still need 10% to get to where I starting donating in 2004.
Maybe you are satisfied with where you are today, but I still hold a grudge.

Maybe yours has doubled since we filed chapter 11 on the same equipment, however, mine has not doubled since 2004 when we started going backwards. And, I am still on the same equipment, too. But, on the bright side, my relative seniority has gotten worse.

This seems to come up every few years. It's the way the rules are. PS gets upgrades before NR. Always been that way. Doesn't matter who the PS works for. A newbie Delta PS will also upgrade before anyone else senior to them who is nonreving.
As for their flights, everyone gets priority on their own metal. They are Delta flights is the sense that Delta has "purchased" all the seats on the airplane for it's passengers and allowed them to use a Delta flight number for marketing. As far as everything else is concerned, they are completely separate companies

It should more properly be called 12.8/4/3 with another half point thrown in this month. You are however correct that when I heard the initial rumors I was for voting no. I even voted no initially. Then I read and viewed everything I could find about the contract including a 2 hour talk with one of the negotiators. Changed my vote.
Aside from the rates virtually everything posted here was wrong or a huge exaggeration about the contract. The only error DALPA made in their projections about the contract was underestimating how well it would turn out.
The contract also broke the logjam for pilot contracts and finally got the ball rolling at AMR and UAL. Had it not passed I think it might be very possible that no contracts would be done and we would just now be getting before the NMB. I like the choice I made in changing my vote and think it has positioned us far better then even I hoped for this contract.

B.S.
No, we didn't.
Neither of us knows that.
No, we didn't. But we WERE nearly at the top for revenue produced per pilot.
What this "union" got was nothing more than what management considered the minimum. Management gave the non-union Delta employees much more. In fact, the non-union Delta employees got back to their pre-bankruptcy pay last year.
So yes, our "union's" record was appalling. Even more appalling was how it was governed during C2012.
