Guess I wasn't clear. I'm talking about a me too clause in our TA that brings us up to their rates if they get a better deal after we get a TA.

No word games. Every pilot at Delta is smart enough to know what industry leading is.

You've got a lot more trust in "Capt" Dixon than I do... Of course he may realize he will have to abide by the new agreement when he returns to line flying...😏

After years of some good decisions, followed by many bad decisions that were bailed out by a boom time for airlines, Dickson's ego is almost as large as his waistline.

There is NO way he will ever return to the line. He may get requalled, only to medical out, but would take a huge ego hit to be a commoner again.

Dickson maintains his currency on the 320.

I stand corrected. Rephrase...I find it hard to believe that he will ever be a "Line Dog" again. No, he will ride this thing out as long as he can.

Captain Dickson made in the neighborhood of $4,000,000 last year. I don't think he is going to return to flying the line when he ends his tenure as our leader. I'm sure he has a management type pension, too. I doubt he will return to line flying.
