There should be 1 concession that every pilot on the seniority list should consider OR no concession at all. It amazes me that we repeat the same mistakes over and over again.
That is to say nothing of whether the agreement would pass. It very well might pass along VERY partisan lines, whereby different voting blocks vote in vastly disproportionate ways.
There also seems to be this misconception that the majority of pilots at Delta were displaced to lower paying seats. That is FALSE. 50%+ of pilots were not displaced to lower paying equipment, and after this AE , even fewer will have ultimately been displaced.
to me it makes sense based on how much each group was negatively affected. Speaking generally; the top 1/3 of the list would not take much of a hit, some might have gone from WB-A to NB-A but overall this group was probably the least affected by displacements so far, and much of the win for this group is LTD improvements and DHD improvements. Many in the middle 3rd were displaced out of the left seat and some all the way back to NB-B. This group, as a whole, was looking at a more significant pay cut and stands to benefit from undoing displacements. The bottom 3rd was staring down the barrel of a furlough and 50% work is probably better than the options many are facing.
the only thing I’m wondering is are reserve days reduced accordingly for each group
