Airline Pilot Central Forums - Details on Delta TA

Isn't it the job of a newhire to inject new perspective? These people arrive at Delta equipped with a lot of experience and knowledge, though not always Delta-specific.

The question is how they behave in this APC conversation. Here, they are judged on what they say, and the credibility of their posts, not their company longevity. I'm all for relentlessly pounding on someone for writing like a freakin' idiot, but let's not get into the habit of discounting newhires because they're newhires.

Everyone is welcome into the arena. Just be prepared to die... I didn't read Oberon's stuff, so I'm not sure whether it deserves a thumbs-down. Let the crowd decide...

The Crowd did read his stuff, and they have decided.

I'm getting dangerously close to having to read his stuff, and decide for mys...

Nah. Send in the equites!

Or burn him, whatever.

We need tighter metaphor orthodoxy, around here.

There are certain logical conclusions which are irrefutable.

1) If he is made of wood and weighs the same as a duck then he is a witch.

2) If Delta makes $1.6 bil in one quarter and Ed is sleeping well then the pilots need at least a 25% pay raise on day one.

And we all know the crowd is never wrong. ;)

American is the new main competitor.

RA bumped the FA pay just in time to force Parker to beat it for his FAs.

The American pilots are days away from a TA with our rates plus 5%. Would RA bump our rates 14% now just to make Parker match plus 5% for his pilots?

There is no avoiding our increases. Pay us now or pay us later.

Just curious gzsg, where did you glean this AA= DAL+5% bit of info from? If true it can only help us! Oh, and TSquare, some Forumers are making wild estimates (very wild IMO) about the manning saved by banding. What kinda manning savings do you suppose LBP would entail? Either way a lot of training churn is saved. The jobs vacated by retirements would of course have to be filled... absent the airline shrinking. Using my incredible psychic powers I'm gonna predict LBP isn't gonna happen but banding is likely.
