18 month rolling calendar, and the next time we'll see the noncons get restless is when they see our 2017 PS check estimations at the end of this year. The company can skirt that by giving them a bonus but bonuses cannot be counted as part of ptix (one time special expense) so it wouldnt affect our payout.

It means follow the mentorship of your fellow brothers and sisters flying the line. We'll take care of you. Your job will be to get through training and get through probation, smile, and learn the contract. We'll need you after probation.

As a military retiree, this is different. It's a job. You are an employee. That said, overall Delta is a good company to work for. Most of what you will hear about the contract will be from those holding views at either extreme. Do your research and search for those who are in the middle and willing to discuss both sides, then make up your mind about what you think is the right thing to do.

It means nothing to you. Hardly means anything to us right now anyways. DALPA folks and DAL folks will do their job.

The other half are new hires with decade plus exposure to negotiations at the regional level. Where management plays three card Monty with airplanes, essentially leaving them powerless. The muzzle comes off these old dogs now that they're at the Majors.

It means the rah rah you will hear from the company is lip service. Delta is corporate America and profits are the bottom line. We're pretty much an expense on the ledger. Do what's best for you and your family at all times with regard to DAL.

So if you had another option, and you were just entering the business, would you go elsewhere versus wading into this fray?
