This idea was floated by a former high level rep.
His point was that Wall Street and the Company would choke on a raise of anything more than 15 % and that we needed to look at alternative means of securing income.
To me it did not make sense as I ran the numbers quickly in my head to close the gap between his 15 and my minimum raise number that is close to double his stated %age. Not a math whizz, but that would be alot of shares at the current 8-9 range being granted.
That would then dilute the outstanding shares once they began issuing more shares to cover their grants. Now Wall Street would really choke.
My suggestion was to substantially boost per diem to lets say $10/$15 hr or so. Non Taxable as it stands now but don't know how the Gov't would like that. You could use a robust per diem and a 15% raise as the published rate and get close to closing the restoration gap.
Ideas anyone?

Then, unfortunately, it's not really technically per diem by the Gov'ts definition.
It would still be a way to have a larger raise than what is "published" by increasing that benefit.

While we may never know the reason, I for one think that puts the people I represent (you) in an excellent position for our Section 6 opener. I hope you share in this good news, good fortune, and timing of this hiring. Management tells us that what is good for Delta is good for Delta pilots. Delta pilots say “prove it.”
DPA is waiting in the wings.

More importantly, in regard to your tightie whitie situation....go to Costco, buy a huge bag, go on your trip and wear said bag, and return to Costco upon arrival home. Not an ideal solution ....... but one for consideration based on today's trials and tribulations.

If we can reel in scope and bump my company contributed 401K to the 415C limit, with a few workrule improvements like: A 6.5 hour min day; 1 for 1 training and vacation pay; industry leading night and intl overrides; 1.5 pay for MEDs; and a few others, I think I could live with a 15% stated payraise...maybe.
