He stated that many many rumors on the forums are way off....but he said he would not address each one as the LEC agreed that would take too much of their time.

He also stated they plan on not budging from the 23G LCA issue with the FO removal.

Lastly he stated that once the negotiations are coming to a close, some items will change quickly as they look at value.

I'm not a DALPA lover but I have to believe they wouldn't sell us out like the current rumors say....

Guys,

This is a cut and paste from the other DAL thread:




Gentleman,

You all seem to be forgetting something very, very important. If we drag out this negotiation we can not only expect very nice profit sharing increases, but we will also receive annual pay raises.

We just received a .55 per cent raise - not much but remember UAL and AMR have contracts with raises coming for the next few years. Don't forget the little known codicil (thanks Dean Wormer :D) in the DAL Pilots contract that matches the average pay of AMR and UAL.

Now that average just passed barely us, but each year they get raises so it wouldn't surprise me if we get a 2-3% raise every year even if we are parked.

No need to rush anything boys. Either we hit a grand-slam or we wait it out enjoying pay raises and increased profit sharing.

Happy Memorial Day!

Scoop :)

Overall agreed! (except for Check's clarification)

I don't see any reason to wind the clock just to wind the clock- if we can get a good contract in a timely manner, that's great. If there are unnecessary concessions, sure then we should wind the clock.

These rumors are considerably different than in the 117 and C2012 and originate from highly unreliable/emotional sources.
