Good one. And how about night pay? When we got night pay back, it was from 11:30pm and triggered less than 2%. I don't know about you, but my night time starts way before that. ;)

Super, there is a cost associated with everybody's wish list. 75 hr guarantee is great for the 20% of the pilots on reserve,7% pay raise ! How about the 80% not on reserve ? Unless you are bottom of the seniority list reserve is a choice.I personally don't think it's fair to give a reserve 777 Capt 7% more to sit at home while I have to bust my but to get those same 75 hours. Do I think we should improve the reserve system ?, yes I do but I don't think any small portion of the company should get a windfall. Pay raises help everybody.
Sermon to follow; In my 30 plus years at the big D I have learned one very important fact of life.If you want to have QOL and good pay stay senior

in category, all the good deals go to those senior in their category. Case in point, pre BK i made a lot of money flying 76ER Capt but I had 2 buds in my class make way more and have a better QOL as MD-!! FO's ! Super, I like your posts, you have the right idea.

The reduction in hours of pay is not so much a result of the PWA as it is a result of a decrease in capacity. Fewer hours of pay were coming with or without a merger. The shift to DAL work rules and manning formula's along with the increase in hourly rates probably softened the hit and prevented displacements. We are just pulling out of the worst recession since the Great Depression, with the resultant loss of over 20% in revenue and no one got furloughed. We ought to all be happy about that. Now our combined company is well positioned for the recovery. Let's focus on our common interests and leave the past behind, we have the potential to be a part of an industry leading airline with an industry leading contract, let's focus on that. :)

Works for me. A payrate bump for those working, or a flat rate for the day?

Super, how about increased hourly rate and a reserve guarantee that floats between 70 and the max ALV-3 hrs?
