How much scope was given away at the top and bottom of the operation? I'm aware of many of the AA/Usair concessions for the new payscale but scope seems the be the glaring issue with the delta TA. There will always be certain groups of pilots willing to give certain work rules to get certain pay rates. However scope is something no pilot should ever give away. Have we learned nothing from the last 15 years?

Wait, I thought Lumberg was only posting under his brother-in-law's login because the DALPA MEC contracted the Persian mob to kidnap his socially-awkward, lazy-eyed beagle. Lumberg was just trying to protect Mr. Friskers.

Black Rocket,

Arbitrage? Grab the sheet of talking points passed out by your Dear Leader and re-read it. He wants you to threaten ARBITRATION. Arbitrage is more along the lines of mergers and acquisitions. Which, I guess, it will look like when China Eastern 777s are painted in Delta colors.

If anyone is one wondering what MD has to gain by forcing this through, look no further than the Moak Group. A $1-2M per year job is awaiting him if he can prove himself as a labor-busting future executive. He's well on the way. Kinda changes the way you read his propaganda, huh?

Current B-777 Captain
$272 x 1,000 = $272,000 + 20% PS = $326,400

New TA 2015 B-777 Captain with 2016 pay rates
$311 x 1,000 = $311,000 + 10% PS = $342,000

That's a 2016 4.8% raise
+ 1.0% 401K contribution is a total aggregate of 5.8%

===========================================

Current B-777 FO
$185 x 1,000 = 185,000 + 20% PS = $222,000

New TA 2015 B-777 FO with 2016 pay rates
$212 x 1,000 = $212,000 + 10% = $233,200

Thats a 2016 5.0% raise
+ 1.0% 401k contribution is a total aggregate of 6.0%

===========================================

Current B-737 Captain
$219 x 1,000 = $219,000 + 20% PS = $262,800

TA 2015 B-737 Captain with 2016 pay rates
$251 x 1,000 = $251,000 + 10% = $276,222

That's a 2016 5.4% raise
+ 1.0% 401k contribution is a total aggregate of 6.4%

===========================================

Current B-737 FO
$149 x 1,000 = $149,000 + 20% PS = $178,800

TA 2015 B-737 FO with 2016 pay rates
$170 x 1,000 = $170,000 + 10% PS = $187,000

That's a 2016 4.5% raise
+ 1.0% 401k contribution is a total aggregate of 5.5%

===========================================
Cliff's Notes

*Between the most senior pay rates from B-777 Captain to a 12 year B-737 FO...the average pay raise is appx. 5.5%

Add in the 2017 & 2018 3% pay increases and you end up having an 11.5% raise.

Consider the options of turning down TA 2015 carefully.

If disapproved, we can end up going to arbitrage and dragging this out for 2-3 years for only a couple percent more. Then we will be ready for a new contract. Also, the arbitrator's directed to meet just industry standards.


Consider all the facts carefuly and vote wisely!

I figure the new changes will cost me at least one 20 hour greenslip a month possibly more. You know the LCA thingy, and the preventing rolling thunder stuff, the sick changes, etc.

So can you recalculate that with a 23%-30% deficit off the bat then show me how I will do!!

Thank you in advanced.

Work rule related cuts roughly if they apply to you

loss of 3 greenslips per year at 2 day 20 hours = 7% cut
loss of 6 greeslips per yearat 2 day 20 hours = 14% cut
loss of 9 greenslips per year at 2 day 20 hours = 20% cut
loss of 12 greenslips per year at 2 day 20 hours = 27% cut

Whether it's green slips or white loss of 20 hour per month is huge if the work rules make that happen. Changes LCA bidding, JV, sick changes, etc. So many of the new changes would affect this. How about the FOs who go from line holder and 100 hours a pay a month to reserve pay at 75 hours due to LCA bidding?

Work rules are so much more important than the hourly rate. Which contract going forward will produce more overtime flying?

The true value of the contract will be different for each individual. Figure out what you will lose before you figure what the contract gives. For some it will be gold for many it will appear to be fools gold.

Sorry if this has been covered ad nauseum.....but why are we closing voting 5 days before the announcement of quarterly results? In the words of Ferris Bueller, "I smell a rat."

At the MEC meeting the negotiating committee put up a bunch of slides on our sick leave use and its change over time. I'm working from notes, so I apologize for any errors. Since 2012 sick leave usage is up 30%. The top 20% of sick leave users that don't go on disability use 50% of our sick leave. 5% of our pilots use more than 40 days per year and never go TD or LTD.

They also addressed that demographically our aging pilot group should only use about 1% more, not 30% more. There has been a pilot behavior change. UAL and AMR's sick leave has decreased (no data provided) but both those properties have substantially more punitive sick leave provisions than we do, beginning with only 60 hours of accrual.

They said because of increased costs this is one of management's top priorities.

I hope one of the notepads covers this, as sick leave was just a few slides in a big deck.
Thanks for the above. This is not directed at the messenger:

Why wasn't the UAL/AMR data provided? It decreased? From what to what? What was the source for this other airline data? Delta management?

Very suspect. So far, I do not believe the data on other airlines. Also makes me doubt data on Delta pilots.

So for a MAX of $16k gross or about $800/month(less if on anything other than highest paying equip) net after taxes and deductions you are willing to...

have more onerous sick leave requirements
reduce rolling thunder if you are reserve
reduced GS because of more reserve availability
allow reductions to top and bottom end scope
allow the re-introduction of a b-scale
allow alter ego JV airlines to fly Delta code therefore reducing WB flying

WOW, JUST WOW!!!

That's why these TAs usually pass. I think most have no confidence that a better deal could be had, would rather stick with what they currently have, but eventually rationalize voting yes for the pay bump, even with the other modifications.
