31 Dec 2015 would still trigger a raise. It's any time during a rolling 18-month period. Here's the cut and paste from 3.B.4.

If, during any consecutive rolling 18-month period, the Company grants an across-the- board increase in base pay rates to non-pilot U.S.-based workgroups covering 30% or more of its non-pilot U.S.-based workforce, then a review of pilot composite hourly rates will be triggered.

2 things to look at:
1. trigger to review pilot pay rates (other employee raises)
2. if triggered, how much do we raise pilot rates? (match lower of employee raises or UAL/AMR raise using contract formula).

Does anyone really think the company can sit back in record profits and not give any of its employee groups a raise? The company needs to give raises to the FA to entice them not to unionize; at least, that's what they've done in the past. (Whether the FA vote to unionize is up to them; I'm just saying management has typically sweetened things for non-union employees whenever it looked like it was getting close to unionize, and the FA union is gearing up for next spring).

3.B.4. was included in C2012 as a protection in case we didn't get a new contract on the amendable date for whatever reason. Compare 8/.26/3/3 with new scope, sick leave and work rule changes to 3/3/3/3 under current contract. Sure, 3/3/3/3 is not guaranteed, but it's very unlikely to go 0/0/0/0.

So they got restored from 7 to 5 weeks of vacation with a slower accrual rate then we have? Is this discussion about the chapter 11 filing?

Bender heres some PS math that was done by a fellow facebooker... see the picture for the table with the pay comparison...

"The PTIX for 2014 was $6.75B which resulted in a PS pool for all employees of $1.1B This level of PS netted each employee a payment of 16.58% of income. Under the terms of the TA, the PS pool would have been reduced by $350M due to the new trigger and another reduction of $46M due to the new definition of PTIX, resulting in a total PS payout of $704M. End result: each employee would have received 36% less in their payout - 10.61% of income instead of 16.58%.

Chart Assumptions:

- Pay Rates per TA, 12-year 737 Captain
- “Income” = (Pay Rate) * (1,000) — Per PWA Section 3.A.1, PS is based on annual income not including bonuses, profit sharing, shared rewards, or expenses.
- DL total annual payroll unchanged
- All PS payouts based on 2014 PTIX***

***Note: Both Richard Anderson and Ed Bastian have publicly stated they expect DL profits to be as good as or better than 2014 in years 2015 and beyond, hence assumption is not unrealistic.

Conclusion: The proposed changes to Profit Sharing are a bad deal
for all Delta pilots. A really bad deal."

I dunno, I was just spitballing. Maybe the first three weeks pay 5/day and the next 3 only pay 4 or something like that. Get more up front so to speak.

Exceeeeept, wouldn't you have to use current rates for the 737 pilot under the current contract? You cannot use TA payrates if we turn this down. Nice work, but please resubmit.

Great information, thanks. I have been emailing my reps quite a bit about the lack of information being given out on this topic.

Your conclusion relies on three major tenets: First, you take what Richard Anderson says as the gospel. Second, you take what Ed Bastain says as the gospel. Third, that Delta will remain profitable for the next three years. Really? You believe all three? Awesome. I have some great Florida property that I would like you to invest in. No , you don't have to look at it. Just trust me.

You do realize that if RA and Sleepy Ed lie about stuff like that, the SEC will file felony charges against them, right?

Just trust you? Are you on the MEC roadshow?

Tenets, they're different from tenants, but only slightly.

Heiko would disagree with your contention too. But, don't let that get in the way of your SEC lawsuit against the Delta management head shed.
