You forgot the joint venture scope.

While that would be helpful, a union willing to defend scope language would be even more helpful.

The post-BK cut dropped to $142.28 in 2007...ouch.

Am I sourcing the correct contract info for you?

Hey shiznit, maybe you missed my previous post, but I'd sure like to know if you're a current rep or MEC admin or a previous one. Not asking you to out yourself, just would like to know your background.

You mean the same "mindset/culture/MEC" that stole pilot's pensions? Then changed the rules for retirees after they retired? Or presided over the largest outsourcing of pilot jobs in our history? Or the first major to sanction an alter ego airline?

You really need to get over yourself. The Delta mindset/culture/MEC did some good things. So did NWA's. The Delta mindset/culture/MEC also did some terrible things. Do did NWA's. In so many ways, this was truly a merger of equals. It's still such a facepalming surprise when I see such examples of the undeservedly proud exhibited by folks like you, shiznit and alfaromeo.

You must really be a DALPA insider, Shiz!

He absolutely has to be. He exhibits all the hallmarks of the truly arrogant and disrespectful Moak disciple.

So did you. So did Moak. Rj's are good for Delta pilots...don't you remember that Sailingfun?

No it's not false Alfa. I lived it. I was a Delta pilot for 2 years before I broke even with my premerger W-2. That's a fact. Many fNWA guys were in the same boat. I know facts don't help your narrative of NWA guys needing to shut up because they're so lucky to be here, but...

...So we all got fewer hours in 2009 which was acceptable, but to hear that you got screwed in the deal rings a little false in my mind...

Nobody said they got screwed. Only you said that. Strawman anyone? We only said that it took a few years to gain back our fNWA W-2's after we went to Delta pay rates AND WORK RULES.

However, Jerry's waterfall will be mitigated by A330 arrivals (IMO). So, it's unlikely there will be a cascade through the list.

Again, we are betting on the Come. And it is still not mitigated. They WILL be displacing to lower paying equipment. I know you are fine with that. I'm not. It's a paycut.

Wow. I was just joking around, but I see you're going to get all snippy about things....Fine...I can play it that way too: I missed the footnote on your fancy little chart that said that the rates factored in DC increases....maybe you could point that out to me in your original post K? Also, if your chart reflects DC changes then it's completely wrong.....the 15% DC contribution I'm now getting is LESS than the targeted DC contribution I was getting, in actual $$, under the NWA plan. That sunset last year, so where is the chart for me (and hundreds of others in the same boat) that reflects the DECREASE in DC funds that I am now getting?

Maybe YOU would like to send ME the $$$ I have lost so far this year from the DC plan vs what I was getting monthly, regardless of how little I flew, up until 12/31/13. If not, then don't pretend that it's not money that I'm not getting anymore, and that your chart is accurate.

Once again, don't let FACTS stand in the way of your agenda...

We have had consistent annual returns even when it put us far out of our peers market. Please let me know what reasons there are for the differences between the left side of the chart and the right side of the chart. In my mind, we shook up the industry so much that even with those massive pay raises, they still have not caught up to us. I am sure you have a better explanation. Look at all those zeros on the left side of the chart and give me some explanation for those.

At the time of the merger, your A-320 pay rate was $139.00 per hour with an average of 6% defined contribution rate for an effective rate of $147.34. Now you have a pay rate of $203.21 with a 15% DC and an effective rate of $233.69. That is an $86,000 per year increase in 5 years and an average of almost 12% per year. I am not sure if you have paid any attention at all to the rest of the world during the last 5 years, but if you went to almost anyone who is not a professional athlete, you would find looks of shock and disbelief if you tried to convince them that nothing good has happened to you lately.

Alpha

Show me the compounding on our executives 300% to 700% compensation increases since chapter 11.

You won't and we know why.

You and I both know the freight trains coming. The sales job talking points almost done.

Try explaining to anyone how the Delta pilots hourly rate is 18% to 20% lower than it was over a decade ago. Real people, real faces. No inflation. Record profits. Billions to shareholders.

You sold it once and you will sell it again.

Longer freezes are good!! This is a win! Disregard the loss of jobs. It's good to include the JV scope violation in this deal!

Funding our increases with profit sharing is smart!

Will the pilots buy in again? Will they believe the threats?

Will they believe their is nothing more on the table?

Time will tell.

Jerry
