speaking of, it would be worth all here to check out the massive changes to section 1P or the PWA that have been done under our noses... particularly with the ESK compliance window.
Go ahead... look at the live PWA on DeltaNet. You'll be shocked...

I am hopeful our MEC has a really good explanation and has enforcement provisions that I am thus far unaware of.

FWIW, a year ago, I had info that DAL was looking at Atlas or Polar. I did not post it because I could not back it up, but that rumor was out there too.

Except the planes are the bulk of the DCI expense. Since they are kept off delta's books (to show a net reduction in debt), pilot cost is not going to bring the flying back home.

I disagree. We are not "due" anything. Any gains we may, and had better achieve, will be fought for.
Look at it from the companies point of view - "Sure the Pilots ***** a lot, but they all still give 100% and do a superb job." They will not "invest" in us unless it gains them something. Sometimes we are own worse enemies. And I was no exception, coming from the military I was a total Kool-aid drinking company man......right up to the point when I was furloughed as DCI flourished. I will not make that mistake again - we are costs to be minimized in managements eyes. They took over 40% of our pay, terminated our pensions and what was our response?
DALPA better be prepared to play hardball and frankly the tone they have been setting does not have me optimistic. Now with that said, I do acknowledge that we are not yet in section 6 and I am not privy to the DALPA strategy.
But to the original point, we are not "due" anything. Either we negotiate for big gains or not. What we achieve will be determined by us.
