They are making out like bandits with the training set up and reduced pay they have now.

It's a sound idea but the reality is even for an extension work rules would need to be upped and the min day one pay would need to be exponentially higher for it to pass. I think RA may try for 10% or less but knows it will need to be more.
I too will be floored to make it to April without an offer that is just good enough to send to memrat.

One thing I've been pondering is a signing bonus for new hires that gives a $40k deposit into the 401k but it doesn't vest until the start of 6 year pay(so you could invest it as you wanted but couldn't pull it out)...... It would help DAL recruit the cream of the crop but you couldn't "take the money and run", after 5 full years you probably aren't going to change carriers. Just a thought.

More appropriate question is "OUCH. What pre-merger pilot group?" Almost 25 years as a PMDL would get him a decent line on ATL330A.
... or would make him #1 on the ATL320A list - by about 600 numbers.

I would need Southwest 737 hourly rate on the MD-88 (I would probably vote yes to a 20 percent raise on day 1 if offered), reserve pays same as lineholders, and vacation and training pay increased to whatever the minimum flying day is worth (5:15 right now). I would vote yes to the above. I feel my requests are extremely reasonable. This is what I would settle for after negotiating is done. This is not my opening position (it would be much higher). Anything giving up any scope is an automatic no vote from me (that includes a 100 percent raise).

Ok.
How does the company benefit from only 6 months more of stability when they will get 18-30 months of "status quo" out of the Section 6 process?
Keep in mind we merged MX stores systems a few months ago and just resolved the last union integration issues a week ago from a merger that occurred almost 4 year ago.....
You have to make it worth it for everybody involved, and unfortunately the company holds 99% of the cards.
If we as a pilot group entertain an extension that is substandard then I agree we should go for the full Section 6 and skip an interim agreement.
