Captain Dickson's Promise
 
Today in his weekly update Captain Dickson makes a promise we will attain an industry leading contract in:

Pay

Work rules

Benefits

I couldn't be happier. This is long overdue. My hat is off to Steve.

The challenges going forward are unprecedented and overwhelming.

Together we will continue to lead the industry.

Industry leading pay means the highest hourly rates. Industry leader United. 19% ahead of us today on the A330/767-400.

No word games. No attempting to add profit sharing. Steve can talk about profit sharing when he restores our pensions and trips touching vacations.

Scope immediate penalties and not one more large jet to DCI

Medical $200 deductible and premiums cut in half

Retirement industry leader FedEx soon to be Delta!

Vacation industry leaders SWA 210 hours FedEx 216 hours Delta 113:45. Soon to be 217 hours.

No word games Captain Dickson. Social media travels at the speed of light and the Delta pilots can read. We know what industry leading is and what it is not.

Let's wrap this up and win together.

Never underestimate the lawyerese you're about to read in the pro/cons.
IIRC, we turned down an "industry leading pay" contract about 11 months ago.

I'd be curious to know what "industry" we are leading, certainly isn't aviation.

See deltanet negotiations update. If not word for word same as company, then very close.

...Again. This sounds like something we heard 11 months ago and voted down 13 years ago. I hope I am wrong on this one.

The CVG capt reps recent update letter read very similarly to capt Dicksons weekly update. They even used some of the same sentances.

Oh and that Capt rep will not be picketing. Hows that for union leadership.

I wonder how the teamsters would handle that.

Steve lost his credibility years ago. Not sure why anyone would even read his propaganda.
