Default MEC Chairman - All FO's Seniority is for Sale

This is the message he has sent to all Delta First Officers. Trips being pulled for LCA is a direct assault on ALL First Officer's seniority. Seniority that they have earned. As the leader of all Delta Pilots he represents he should have looked across the table and stated LOUD AND CLEAR, "DELTA PILOTS SENIORITY IS NOT FOR SALE. END OF DISCUSSION".

I couldn't agree more! I mean, really, why should someone actually have to come to work to get paid?? Totally unreasonable!

You're a sellout.

Status quo is better than this pos.

FOs seniority is for sale. Is that much different than a b scale?

$5b stock buy back and we get this crap TAd.

Read the name of the thread. The problem with this concept isn't the pay, it's the seniority bypass that will take place. Do I personally think FOs should get 100% pay and pickup WS or GS on top of that? No but to take a sledge hammer to the policy isn't warranted, it should have been simply adjusted somewhat. Reading comprehension not your thing?

You must be a captain?
Why did it need to be adjusted?

Is that a new survey item?

That only effects a small percent of guys. In my category the ATL ER it's around 5% with all the training. It's the other 95% that get worse trips that we should protect. And why would we do anything to hurt even 5% of pilots?

I'm sure a lot of people put that on their survey I just think that some middle ground could have be reached rather then using a nuke...

At the roadshow, they said most categories were less than 2%. And the worst were new hire categories. Show your math.

I love how you guys who never lived under a B-scale throw that term around so casually.

I'm not throwing it around casually. I just don't have better words for what it is.

Ps I lived under the b scale.
