Airline Pilot Central Forums - Any "Latest & Greatest" about Delta?

I’m not disagreeing with anything you’re saying, but wasn’t the VB thing cancelled last minute because Delta wasn’t willing to work with us with the AM JV? They were violating our scope clause (or on the path to violating it) and wouldn’t agree to terms regarding the whole JV, so DALPA said, if you won’t work with us, we are done working with you.

That’s my recollection, anyway. Im not saying it was right or wrong.

I don't recall that being the reason. I do know that there were some vocal pilots making a fuss about the idea of doing them when they were suddenly happening. That was what I understood the reason to be.

Giving the company leniency on a test period that had already expired in was not the prudent thing to do.

Pilot Enhanced disability benefit?

On self service, there is a pilot enhanced disability benefit that had 6hrs by it last month and zero this month? Any idea why this was taken away. Any idea who to call to inquire?1800mydelta was worthless as usual.

Disregard, talked to Alpa folks. Delta is auditing the system, hrs should be back in a few days.

What exactly is the enhanced disability benefit anyway? I've never been able to figure out what that means.

I didn’t know we had that, thought it was one of the proposals in this co tract negotiation. Maybe I’ll go look at pwa....

Half of unused sick time below 80 hours goes into this account. So, if you only used 40 hours in a sick year, half of the remaining 40 hours would be deposited. Using it kicks in after you deplete your sick time but before DPMA and disability begin if memory serves.

PWA 26.K.5.b for your reading pleasure.

This was poorly worded and we got the worst interpretation. At one point (inadvertently, perhaps) this was represented as half of up to 80 hours of unused sick leave. So, for someone who only used 50 of their 125 hours, they'd get half of 75 (37.5). Instead, they only get 15 (half of 80-50) as it is currently interpreted.

Someone with an allocation of 270, who only uses 80 and leaves 190 on the table... gets no Enhanced Disability Benefit. Under the previous representation (again, no reason to believe it was malicious, but it's what I thought were were voting for), that pilot leaving 190 on the table would at least have 40 hours rolled into his EDB bank.
