Credit where credit is due.
Just think about how extraordinarily difficult it must have been for the Delta negotiators to keep from falling out of their chairs laughing every time they sat down with the DALPA NC. They deserve a huge raise. |

Once you learn the process, the steps fall into place. Except for C2012, bankruptcy, and the JCBA, I pretty sure we have been in mediation for every contract negotiation since I've been here... The first step doesn't take place until the end of the year. We are well ahead of that with the voluntary negotiations that have just concluded. If this TA is rejected, there is nothing to stop either the Company or DALPA from reengaging in negotiations prior to the amendable date at the end of the year. In fairness, I have to point out that both sides would have to agree to it. There is nothing to compel them other than mutual self-interest. If we do not have a deal by March 31, 2016, both parties agree to jointly petition the NMB for mediation. Denny I was referring to Section 6 negotiations only. |

Records profits with an earnings call quickly approaching. A contract riddled with concessions and dubious switchbacks.
And this guy says the reason to rush is to get that money flowing sooner. As airline pilots, does that make sense to any of you. Professor, do you compress the time for your checklists and skip your departure briefing at an unfamiliar airport because you want to start getting paid sooner? Unsat Get a clue. |

Denny With a PTIX of $0B your payout will be 5.0% more. With a PTIX of $6B your payout will be 15.5% more. With a PTIX of $10B your payout will be 22% more. Without this TA: With a PTIX of $0B your payout will be 16.5% less. With a PTIX of $6B your payout will be 0% more. With a PTIX of $10B your payout will be 6.5% more. Clearly you have much more money with the TA. You also have downside protection and will STILL make much more with increased profits. |

Also, does that include if the MEC chairman single handedly allows foreign airlines to fly as Delta? |
Which guys posting here are working with Dalpa providing information?

I won't have more money if my CA seat is an E190 at these rates. B scale without that label is still a B scale. We can negotiate that rate when it gets to the property. You remember, 737-800 style.

I am getting up to speed on what all the concessions are as well as the improvements - which there are. On balance if you don't like the TA in its entirety vote no. I am still undecided. If the nuggets are that bad I'll vote no. But right now I'm in no rush and I'll carefully sort through all the details. But I know now this TA is more money. |
Rolling Thunder hit?
I'm no reserve guy but someone in fb mentioned that
"Maybe they want to do this so you cannot move your x-days in a "Rolling Thunder" strategy. You won't be able to move an additional x-day at the end of a block because they've already assigned a short call to you on that day. Just another reason to vote NO." 23.S.5.d The TA will let Scheduling put you on short call the first day after x-days, as long as they do it before you start those x-days What do yall think? |
