Flow Questions
Because this flow is much like the Compass flow (same, whatever). Will you 9E pilots keep your longevity, vacation and sick banks? While this question might sound odd, you are giving up your seniority and pay rates to come to Delta. For a lot of the 9E senior guys, coming to Delta will be a huge hourly paycut, but to lose vacation, sick, 401k match (contribution too) is huge. Surely your MEC has considered this and negotiated some kind of buyout?

Anytime you leave for another employer you would loose all that so what is the difference?
I suppose it would suck if you are a lifer by choice and don’t want to leave and are being forced to go to Delta. But as long as you have more than 2-3 years remaining in your career the pay cut is only temporary

That sounds like an opinion. What's the answer? Are you saying pilots can opt out of the flow?

I know you keep your 401k, but what I'm getting at here is your total compensation (and this includes your ability to bid the line you want, the overnights you want etc.)
You can't just look at pay rates. It may, for some guys, take 4 to 5 years to be made whole.

Junior base is New York. Talk about a kick in the balls. What's in it for a senior 9E captain?
