"Time Value of Money" is right up there with "Work Will Set You Free" as far as I'm concerned. I don't want to hear it from the company, or the union. Pay me what I'm worth from date of signing or consider this the beginning of a less mutually beneficial relationship.

I do believe these are going to be the numbers. The silence this week has been deafening while this rumor has gained traction. RW was preaching 10%?? to match Southwest a few months ago, right??...well there you go. ALPA success!! Everyone wanted to match SW rates! They will massage the he$$ out of the numbers to make it appear that they were successful. ALPA magic! And throw in a few RJs to boot! Hey..we had to give up something.

IMO, only a complete FOOL would vote in a multi-YEAR contract with scope CONCESSIONS and these INSULTING pay rates.

Frankly, I cannot imagine that being the reality.

Not to be Captain obvious here but...

Everyone and their mother knows that 4833 would never pass unless all the Alaska & JV loopholes are closed in Section 1 (which would be a wet dream). So why would the NT even agree to something like this?

Hopefully it's all speculation otherwise this was all a waste of time...

Assume you are right. What's a 744/777A make in Jan 2015?

Delta management really does not want to get caught up in a similar situation:

I don't care what carl makes, he is the elite of our group. I care what the masses make. I know I would make less than a SW FO with 4+8+3+3 on day one, much less three to four years from now and I am a 12 year FO. Adding RJs is just adding insult to injury. None of us know for sure till we see the TA, however I do think it is what we will see tomorrow or Tuesday if the reps don't show some backbone.

He's obviously setting us up...the TA probably has something marginally higher than 4/8/3/3.

Then we feel lucky and grateful for something ever so slightly higher...and forget about all of the QOL items DALPA has already admitted they've conceded (along with scope).

I just can't understand why DALPA would concede anything at this point.

Once again, one of DALPA's finest doing the company's heavy lifting.
