That is what turned the XJT TA around. I'm convinced it would've passed otherwise, but likely became the first alpa vote completely turned around by social media, because the union conspired with the company to only disclose the bits and pieces that really only amounted to a few carrots.

Also, you must ban those that join just to make waves or divert the topic, or are caught inviting mgmt and/or union personnel. They don't help the cause and do tremendous damage to the intentions of the page. They'll claim their free speech is being quenched, but they really don't have anything productive to contribute.

The TA'd rate on the 330 is higher then Americans rate at the amendable date. Are you suggesting we lower it to match them?

Then I cried... like a little Negotiator!:D

Search "Delta MEC Comm". Notice when you look under a post it might say "70 previous comments". Click there. They have all been deleted. Hundreds of negative comments deleted. Positive comments are allowed to stay. How does that make you feel about your union and how they conduct a fair and balanced TA presentation? Do we live in Iraq?

But they are a little more than busy right now.
In fact 44's fo rep was kind enough to explain the JV language to me.

SO, since 44 fo rep campaigned on a platform of scope, is his explanantion of the JV language overall positive or negative for us going forward?

Delta Air Lines Inc Stock: Profit Sharing Reduction Helps Offset 15% Increase, Says Credit Suisse

Credit Suisse noted that the fixed increase of 15% by the amendable date is slightly more than it expected, but the profit sharing offset is more significant at this point. With the 20% profit sharing threshold moving to $6 billion for all employees, the firm expects approximately $500 million of potential savings, compared to $2.5 billion of threshold. The firm believes that this will be large enough saving to offset the fixed increase of 15% for pilots, giving extra cost of approximately $400 million.
