Outstanding! I'm on-board with your thinking. Let us not forget, we ARE working under a concessionary contract (albeit with some improvements, and thank-you Negotiating Committee for those). Of course we don't negotiate in a vacuum, but SOMEBODY has to let the "air" back into this vacuum vessel we find ourselves in. Let it be us. The pilots of Delta Airlines. I sincerely hope that it is under the banner of Delta ALPA, in THIS section 6 negotiation process.

Don't forget minimum day, like a calendar day, of 5:15 minimum for flying, training, and vacation.

How about rounding it up to an even 6:00 per calendar day including training and vacation?

Well maybe you get to go somewhere fun, like BKK or HNL? That's got to be a vacation, right?

I'm no expert, and I don't understand what pulled during shuffle means, but that rotation was less credit than the LCW minimum. Perhaps it pulled that trip during the shuffle when it couldn't find any other trip to add to it to reach the LCW.

The rotation you were awarded reached the LCW minimum.

I suspect you would have been awarded your first choice if you would have put in a LLW bid request before your other rotation requests.

Welcome to your new juniority.;)

Don't get too excited, Just flew with a guy (Captain since year 5) who "just wants to keep getting yearly raises," "can't believe they pay me to do this" and "wife does our budget". He also didn't think scope was a big deal because, "I only have 5 years left". Hopefully the minority.
