No pay cut intergrating the bonus into payrates, and normal raises there after. Short/Long/ better hotels. Better reserve rules. More defined Career Prgression.

This sums it up nicely from everyone I've talked to. No pay cut for anyone on property. Long call reserve. Career progression.

In fact I've flown with several people here that have masters degrees... Yet no call. Also another thing I'd like to add, is that I've flown with pilots that don't have a degree. Yet they are amazing at what they do as pilots. Not just good. Getting a position at Delta has nothing to do with getting a degree... It's all about knowing how to play the game, and knowing which boxes to check.

Bad idea, it gains us nothing but an extension on our current pay and gains the company more time before they do have to pay more.

I'd rather let the bonus expire or at least get close and watch the new hires disappear. Then they'll pay.

Lol

I was thinking about the other day.

How long have we been doing Delta flying.....since 2008?

I've never once seen a Delta pilot do a gate announcement.

Can't wait to see how you'll behave once you wear that Delta uniform seeing how humble you are. And it's spelt you're not your.

Please explain how this violates their scope clause

I've been on mainline flights that were delayed for hours for weather, mechanical issues, or IT meltdowns. I've never seen a Delta pilot do a gate announcement.
