If you were getting FPL, you would understand why this is such a great deal.


(That was snarky. But, they deserve it.)

What are the positions of the three guys who's names appear at the bottom of the latest compensation negotiators notepad? Please don't tell me they are unelected ALPA pilots.

They are selling this like it's their baby.

And how much will Delta make in this quarter? Oh that's right, we don't KNOW because the vote is now BEFORE the announcement. I'll bet you $50 payable to the DPCF that the Company will more than pay for the ENTIRE length of this contract with the earnings report! You up for it?

You are absolutely right. We deserve a heck of a lot more.

So do FedEx. UPS. SWAPA. UAL. APA.

Why haven't they gotten it? Why are we the first group to exceed our C2K pay 12 years later?

Denny, I don't have those numbers handy. IIRC '96 was a 2% cut and added profit sharing. In 1998 we converted 6% profit sharing to pay. We then got the 737-800 payrate, and followed that with the B777 and B767-400 "Delta dot." C2K wound up being UAL plus 1%. They lost that when they went into bankruptcy in 2002. We kept the rates until LOA-46 in November, 2004.

No one seems to mention Flight Ops was 4% over budget last year and that didn't hurt the profit at all. 4% is $127.2 million, or as wall street sees it a rounding error and insignificant.

This needs to be repeated on every page on this board. There are many pilots that don't understand this.

Here is my take. For this contract, I think it is too late to change horses in mid stream. That being said, if this TA passes and becomes our contract, I will fill out a DPA card and send it in. It's sad to me. Never in a million years thought I would say that....

Most likely
If this TA passes, the ME3 will be the least of your worries. This TA scopes away jobs on both top and bottom.

Long time lurker. Ummm, isn't the below pretty much the same situation as the Norwegian Air issue a few months back that ALPA fought to stop. Using foreign underpaid pilots to fly for them in their brand? So, I'm a little confused by their actions, waste a bunch of PAC money to stop them from doing it, just to turn around and do the same. Nail in the coffin for careers of young Delta new hires.

9. Except as approved by the Delta MEC Chairman, or as otherwise provided by Section 1 E., a carrier engaged in international partner flying will maintain a separate operating and corporate identity from the Company including, but not limited to, name, trade name, logo, livery, trademarks or service marks. The Delta MEC Chairman may, at his option, approve the use by a carrier engaged in international partner flying of a trade name, brand, logo, trademarks, service marks, aircraft livery or aircraft paint scheme currently or in the future utilized by the Company or any Company affiliate.

WHY was this added?
You know the answer, it's intuitive.
