Details on Delta TA

For those believing the lies of FPL.
I will give you a current account of my FPL.
21 hours.
I have been at a 3 day meeting. 1 day of training. And currently average 6 hours a day everyday answering questions on various social media outlets.
So before we start accusing a mis-use of FPL, get the facts.
Also, I would love to see any of you work for no pay and say you are not getting totally screwed.
I'm not complaining. I am a volunteer. But get your facts straight and stop the childish and baseless allegations to try and recruit other's to your island of rancor and discontent.
But, as always, please keep the questions flowing and we will attempt to get you information.

Personally, I appreciate your answers and time. You've been very balanced without any salesmanship. I don't think you deserve the way some guys have been treating you.
Thank you

Dividends directly enrich stockholders. Stock buy back programs directly enrich executives
BOTH are intended to directly enrich current stockholders.
Dividends offer an immediate return on investment that is separate from any appreciation in stock value. This is taxable income.
Stock buybacks are intended to reduce the # of shares outstanding, theoretically increasing the value of any future dividend per share as well as increase the value of the stock itself (which remains untaxed until the stock is sold for a profit).
The reason the DAL stock buyback program is so egregious is for several reasons:
1. Because that money can be used to compensate employees who have previously sacrificed in the past for the benefit of the company (read: bring their compensation up to where it SHOULD be now, not where it should've been in the 1st place)
2. Because the mgmt team is largely compensated with stock, not taxable cash (income).
Simply put, RA is using company money to further line his 17.9 MILLION share interest in the company...a direct conflict of interest IMHO...while concurrently demanding concessions from his employees.
DAL Delta Air Lines Inc Executive Compensation
Richard Anderson's compensation
2010 - $8,041,271 ($6M in stock, not including options)
2011 - $8,854,554 ($7M in stock, " " " )
2012 - $12,575,572 ($7M in stock, " " " )
2013 - $14,375,902 ($9M in stock, " " " )
2014 - $17,589,867 ($9.5M in stock. " " " )
Has your pay doubled in the last 4 years???
Net net...RA is eating from the banquet before his employees. This is a direct abdication of authentic and true leadership. What makes it even worse is that, under the new TA, he and the other exec's will get their compensation & bonuses taken from profits BEFORE PS is calculated for the pilot group.
It all adds up to a GIANT middle finger from RA to the pilots.

If you think 6 billion in buybacks with a market cap of 33 billion doesn't move several needles to any meaningful degree you are either clueless or are hoping the hell we are.

I do agree with you that we should read the TA language itself. I don't agree that it is easy to understand. It is legalese, and that is not always self explanatory. Consider me the lowest common denominator if you want, but I can't necessarily understand the legal words, so I need a little help. I do not care if someone is on FPL or not as long as I get good information. I have no agenda.

Zimbabwe International Air Line Pilots Association proudly announces an HISTORIC TA that gets them back to their 2004 pay of one billion an hour by 2018. The TA also aligns work rules with 1932 industry standards.
The MEC and NC had no comments when asked about it taking 35 quadrillion Zimbabwe dollars to buy 1 US dollar.
