Straight payrates can be very misleading. A friend of mine passed on a compensation comparison including 401k, scheduling, vacation, sick time accrual, soft time etc. It was very dramatic the difference in total compensation.

One thing they all had in common is that we are suckers and being compensated far too little for our time.

What the junior LGA SF340 captain hire date will be? Who knows but I'm guessing it will be pretty junior.
Just out of curiosity, did you guys at Mesaba really think the flow was going to stick around once the merger with Delta was complete?

Personally nope, and I also didn't figure Delta would keep the Saabs around long term either. All the more why I thought the merger would be bad for us.

The flow thru is still alive. Delta could have killed it on the spot but they didn't, they chose to extend the offer. XJ pilots will continue to flow up for a couple more years.

Good luck
Agreed. Not a peeing contest, but doing a side by side comparison the ASA CBA only has 2 or 3 small items that surpass the XJT CBA.

Check your email, the revised CBA that has the corrected LOA/MOU language as well as a file with the concessionary rates is being sent to you.

lol. Now we know you're full of it, Mr. "Delta" pilot.... yeah right.

The flow through, unfortunately, doesn't extend to all the pilots on the Mesaba Pilot's seniority list, thanks to some nice moves by the Delta MEC... like voting to split them off.

From my understanding DL cut off the flow but allowed all those who had already met the minimums and submitted for flow prior to 7/1/10 (purchase date) to flow. That was around 108 pilots. So those who truly wanted DL prior to the merger got it, those who went "reactionary" on the news missed.
