Keep in mind that this entire discussion could open up a can of worms at some point that we really don't want to explore. If state laws fully apply to workers under the RLA they will argue that they have the right to tax those workers and move for a repeal of the federal law that overrides states abilities to level taxes on transportation workers.
The courts have already ruled at the federal level that a pilots domicile is his place of work and since the place of work not residence is the taxing authority for states for all other workers this could become a bad thing. You think NYC is junior now wait to see the result when everyone based there has to pay NYC state and city taxes!! RLA protects commuters. Period. I would hate to see half of our pilots get shacked with burdensome taxes...especially when Delta doesn't have a base in FL or TX, or any state that doesn't have an income tax. OTOH, if you live in GA, you still pay GA state income tax. Period. Therefore, I see no reason a state tax payer should not get a state-sponsored benefit like that. But if you live in FL and work in GA, should you get the GA kincare benefit? To be fair, I think not. Perhaps this is what Delta is going after? |

I really hate to admit this, but Sailingfun has a great point here.:p

WA does not have state income tax and Delta has a base in SEA, last time I checked. :D

You might be able to hold CA there with a 3 didget seniority number if the tax law changes. FO might make it all the way down to 3000 or so!

Delta Hopeful
Hope to be coming to Delta someday. Can anyone email me an example of a schedule for any month? Also, is there open time pay? Can you make more than what the rates listed on APC? Thanks

[email protected] This is a loaded set of questions. Schedules vary. I try to work as little as possible, but that works for my situation. I fly a different jet than 69% of the other Delta guys/gals. They fly different jets than 69% of their peers. Some equipment pays more, some less. Some equipment gets a lot of double time pay ("Green Slips, or GS" in Delta terminology.) Some equipment never gets that. Some pilots hawk the open time board and fill their month to FAR stoppage. Some, like me, try to help those guys by dropping trips. Can you make more than APC listed rates? Sure. But our work paradigm is different than SWA or AS, or any other carrier I can think of. It's just different. Best of luck, Vinny |

[email protected] Mikey, Not really a "typical" DAL schedule. There are typical schedules for each fleet but it is very different on various fleets. Small NB flies multiple legs per day usually 3-4 day trips. 12-15 days per month is common. Larger NB schedules are all over the place. Some days have 1 leg most have 2, some have 3 or even 4. An average 4 day on the 737 probably has about 6 or 7 legs. I average about 14 days a month when I fly a line but sometimes as few as 12. International is 1 leg per day followed by long layovers. Some of these guys only work 9-10 days per month. Trips run from 3 days to 10+ day trips. Reserve on NB you can fly your butt off. Reserve on international is a lot slower and not uncommon for guys to grow a full beard in the winter between assignments. The huge variety of flying is definitely a plus at Delta. Scoop |
PBS Question:
I normally use a Default Bid. In August I'd like to bid RES for VACA. If I use the CURRENT BID, this will override my DEFAULT BID for AUG, correct? |
