I thought we had a significantly better benefit as a pilot group but can't find the info anywhere. Does anyone have a better source for the value and where I can find it listed? Thanks for any assistance.

The 1 year life insurance is the non-cons benefit you found on Deltanet. The answer you seek is found in the PWA 25.G.1.a.

2,500 hours at the highest published captain pay rate

Thanks folks. I obviously didn’t think to look in the PWA. Your assistance is much appreciated.
I wasn’t sure why that info was showing up under My Benefits if it wasn’t what applied to me.

DL2913 Thank You
 
Customer here. I want to give a shout out to the two gentlemen who piloted Delta 2913 tonight. It was an Airbus 319. I was in 14A, right next to the number one engine which failed dramatically just before rotation. The pilots took off and leveled off before returning to SLC. We were airborne for 18 minutes and they even had time to make a reassuring PA. We stopped on the runway and were met by fire trucks. I was happy to learn the same crew was in command of the second try on a new aircraft.

I know you guys are going through hell with the prospects of furloughs and pay cuts. Performance under pressure and sound decision making like I witnessed tonight are why you guys deserve top pay and benefits. Keep your heads high.

Yeah, great job. Just imagine what a great news story for alpa this would be if the FO was furloughed a month later.

He’s less than a year senior to the furlough line.

320 question. Where does it say the engines need a 2 min warm up? Captain and I looked and couldn't find it. All we found was the 5 min cold one. Is it just a carryover from the other fleets?

Outstanding work!!

This is why we are different than baggage handlers, FA's and gate agents. The kompany needs to learn this lesson again and again.

Once again, well done!!!
