As a comparison, united pays 3hrs a day of first year pay (90 hrs/month .... about $8k) and picks up the hotel and pays for the first round of uniforms.
Delta pays about $4700/month in training and you get to stay wherever you can afford.

My understanding about the post is he is discussing initial qual training for pilots already at Delta.

Yet this is exactly the group of "experts" that brought us POSTA15. Chant it with me..."PEB!!!!" "There IS NOTHING left on the table!!!"
How you could be "skeptical" we could find "professional negotiators" that 14,000+ pilots would like better than the status quo...
I'm thinking you'd only have to convince like 1/3 of us. The rest would like more from the next TA. And no more excuses like the ones you chanted with me above.

You don't mention however that changes in the industry resulted in the new TA far more than the people or process used. Our competing airline pilot costs soared based off the rejected TA rates. Delta's profits soared and we had a change in CEO. The change in CEO may have been the biggest gain. Anderson could have stonewalled us for a long time. EB as the new kid on the block needed a deal. In the end contracts always come down to the same issue. Where do your costs stack up to the competition.

you mean the payback days that usually get applied to 'on call days' when you can't even legally sit reserve since you aren't qualified to fly the airplane?

I did not have the luxury of long trips but still easily generated 220 hours pay for the two months plus 3 payback days.
