Keep up the hidden work on behalf of all Delta pilots, and the (get it right this time!), entire profession. Carl |

Or maybe just respond to the many "Call to Action" requests made and take a couple of minutes of your time to right your Congressman and Senators. Important legislation is pending.
You mean like the FT/DT rule that ALPA completely caved in on? Or perhaps the 1500 hour rule that ALPA completely caved in on? I wrote a lot of letters on both issues. ALPA caved...but at least they had a seat at the table Carl |

While I disagree with your assertion, I would suggest that if you feel ALPA needs a stronger voice in Washington, you may want to take some action to make it a stronger voice. Join ALPA-PAC and encourage others to do the same.
I stopped giving to the PAC years ago have not seen a single reason to start donating again since I stopped. I would gladly send more money if I thought they would use it to protect my career and make our lives easier, but so far I've seen no reason at all to donate money to the PAC. |

Why not match the rate? Same plane, same rate, right? Again, no, this comparison requires a more complex analysis. We know that the 737s that Delta operates do not fly the same mission that Southwest uses their 737s for. Therefore, examine the chart to better understand our concern that the Delta pilots would be selling ourselves short if we compared our 737rate to the SWA 737 rate. We believe a comparison between our MD-88 and the SWA 737s is more appropriate (12-year captain pay at DL and SW): So here is where our pay is in 2011: http://i938.photobucket.com/albums/a...g?t=1297316941 Here is where it would be if you replaced the 88 pay with SWA 737 pay and then adjusted the other categories proportionally. The last row has the average pay increase over Delta pay rates for the entire fleet and then the last column the average percentage increase per category. http://i938.photobucket.com/albums/a...g?t=1297352732 Any errors will just have to be accepted as is, til tomorrow at the earliest. ;) |
