However, if it does not get fixed I will live & live happily. I still consider us to be in a very good place. I feel very fortunate to be here. Thanks for your input.
the problem is that some people see this as a "tough crap" issue and it shouldnt be. It is 100% unacceptable for future hires to be paid better than those of us already on property. To be clear, i want the newhires to get everything they can but i dont want to be paid less than a newhire is when it comes to retirement contribution.

this along with a number of other issues should be addressed going forward.

PS-this isnt to point fingers or place blame, its to educate and spread the word. Theres no reason why pilots not hired yet should get more in their retirement than those of us already on property, especially those of us with -0- pension obligation.

-getting off my soap box now

Super, would you want to to make you full but hose the senior F-NWA guys and make them wait until 2012 for the full DC match? If so, is that fair? The we still have a divide.

What is your solution to this? Who have you called? Just ALPA reps? Cp? etc?

Been away for a few days and thought I had clicked on the USAIR forum instead of DELTA!

Yeah really... good gosh that crap gets old. Keen pulled a nice trolling manuever this morning for sure.

The ironic thing is the CA I was flying with this trip had the same feelings about the NW guys stealing from him.

Merger done right!

We need to use that angst to get what we deserve in 2012, not tear each other down.

Yep, I would expect to see the first interview dates starting after the 4th.

He is a great guy too. He deserves it.

I have a friend with 6 or 7 internal LOR's & I'm really hoping he gets called. He's a great guy.

I do not believe so. Your seat lock as you will see in the AE section of DBMS starts at the date of award, not date of conversion.

To start with a grievance shortly followed by a DFR class-action lawsuit against ALPA the moment a junior pilot enters the list with a higher DC. I'm tired of talking to Reps and not getting a response from MEC members who have an ALPA National career on their agenda. Nothing would make me happier than to see ALPA and everything it stands for side lined by an in house union that has Delta pilots as their primary concern.

And an entire major airline, Alaska, as a scope exception. Please tell me that will be a strike item in 2012? Nope, never happen with ALPA.
