Why did you quote me? I have said nothing about anybody's compensation in any of my posts....

Yes, but they have a new name for it. Wonder how long THIS test will take...another 10 years????

Interesting. I guess you point is that if there is nothing to hide, why not make it public.

Are you talking about 24J positions that the company pays, or something else?

Better not.

Same here. Same mix. Very pleased.

Do DAL pilots still have the opportunity to flow back to any regionals in the event of furlough, and if so what seat and which airlines?

The CPS flow back is still in place.

The letter exists. But I don't think he "won" anything. He lost. The evidence is the harm to the pilots he represented.

But, it was a false conflict. The Delta MEC did not have to defer to JC Lawson to negotiate with Delta Management.

My point is there was no conflict of interest. The Delta MEC got what it wanted, both through the action of negotiating and getting our contracts ratified. The Delta MEC also got what it wanted through inaction.

When one division of Delta is furloughing experienced pilots while another division is hiring & promoting inexperienced pilots that DOCUMENTS a FAILURE of our union's responsibility to protect jobs.

The "JC Lawson is a bad guy" excuse does not cut it with me. JC Lawson is a jerk, but, it is not JC Lawson's job to represent me or protect my job. That responsibility belongs to the Delta MEC.

It took me 5 minutes to find it on the Delta Pilot website. It's in the Policy manual in black and white.I just searched policy manual than compensation.

The MEC officers, pilot director and EAs get paid what they could have earned if they were flying the line based on their "longevity/seniority, bid status (e.g., lineholder, reserve), equipment, and domicile", plus 5 hours.

The MEC Treasurer periodically determines the average hours flown by Delta pilots. That average is used to determine the full month rate for full-time and part-time compensation. He briefs that at every MEC meeting.

Here's the exact language from the policy manuual in case I screwed up the Cliff Notes version with bold for emphasis.

The MEC treasurer will periodically (but at least annually) determine the average hours flown by Delta pilots. This average will be used to determine the full month rate for full-time and part-time compensation. At every regularly scheduled MEC meeting, the MEC treasurer will provide the MEC with the full month rate and the methodology used to determine the full month rate.

4. Pay protection

a. The Association Board of Directors member, MEC chairman, vice
chairman, secretary, treasurer, executive administrator, and three MEC
Negotiating Committee members (“designated pilots”) will be paid in
accordance with Section 24 of the PWA, up to the maximum that could
have been earned by the member under the PWA if engaged in line flying
based on his longevity/seniority, bid status (e.g., lineholder, reserve),
equipment, and domicile.

b. Merger representatives (Merger Committee members), upon assignment to
full-time duty with the Association, will be paid the rate of pay for the
highest paying equipment they can hold on the Delta Air Lines system, up
to the maximum that could have been earned by the member under the
PWA if engaged in line flying based on his longevity/seniority, bid status
(e.g., lineholder, reserve), equipment, and domicile.

c. A pilot included in paragraph a. and b. above:

1) In a “no bid” category will be paid the full-month rate plus a five hour
plus-up.

2) Holding a system bid and maintaining aircraft currency will be
paid his credited hours, but no less than the full-month rate plus a
five-hour plus-up.

Not that it makes up for the outsourcing in the first place, but with CPS growing significantly, does the number of flow down positions remain at 405 (or whatever it was) or does it the total CPS list size?
