Now that right there is some constructive engagement.
We must be close, the stock is already reacting.

This is more than a rumor.

Write your reps!

Supposedly leaked by an insider to get a reaction.

Kind of like CDO's I guess.
Well my reaction is twofold, vote no and send in my renewed DPA card.

Doesn't matter, you're in the minority. It will pass easily just like last time.

I agree with the poster that indicated "why rush to a substandard agreement?" The profit sharing check is going to be real $$ the way the contract is written now. If the company is so determined to lessen the percentage they must know this is likely to continue.
It's gonna take a good bit more than 9/9/6/4 for me to vote yes on anything that degrades the PS payout. It could easily be 25% this year.
Time value of $$ folks.

Why is it AA can get a double digit raise day one, and we can't?

Exactly! Not only the profit sharing, they will also get some 'productivity gains' out of us so just like last time, they can tell Wall Street,

"It was a Cost Neutral contract."

35% of 200m = 70m
1% of pay is around 25-27m
So 70m/27 = roughly 2.59%

Not a gain or loss... Just a move.
In C2012 we went from 15% of first $2.5 billion to 10%. Wasn't the percentage reduction 2.6%?

Wouldn't this be more like 6%?

Delta will make $6 billion this year and $10 billion in 2016.

Why would we self fund? Why would we accept date of signing hourly rates less than those that are 11 years old?

We send boy scouts to negotiate with gladiators.

Interesting. So a coordinated leak from management that included some Wall Street players.

My rep (whom I trust) said this is leak is straight from the company to put negotiators on the defensive and induce some pressure to finish the deal. He assured me no deal is imminent.

I have what may be considered a stupid question but I'll ask anyway.

Why is pay banding bad? I've heard that it costs jobs but I don't understand how/why.

That could be a tactic. Throw out a straw man that ****es off the masses, and let the peasants think their revolt killed it. Then float a replacement deal which fixes a couple things but still is a stinker. Peasants embrace it as a win.

Machiavellian brilliance, actually.
