NO ONE (except union leadership) should be tuning in to these propaganda shows. Imachine the message it would send if no one logged in to listen?!!

Honestly I don’t know why the union hasn’t sent out a comm to the pilot group strongly discouraging this???

The update last week fails my test when it comes to reserve improvements. Delta got some wonderful things in their CBA and we should be striving for them and more.

What makes you think we're not striving for those things?

I am not asking because I disagree. I am asking because I would very much be interested in knowing what rules Delta has that we are not asking for in our list.

So . . .

What are the "wonderful things" in the Delta CBA we should ask for?

SK.will say the offer on the table is industry leading and ALPA isn’t willing to negotiate so mediation is the likely outcome followed by comments on recession outlook and more guppys.

Agreed, the company can't afford to wait any more than we can imo. But it sure does sound scary 🥴😒

I think Delta also has some sort of clause for being released from your remaining RSV days once you reach guarantee. Other carriers have similar restrictions. Back in my regional days, once you went over guarantee, you were retroactively paid min daily credit for every unused RSV day. (And we even thought that was a rip-off because we shouldn’t have had to break guarantee to get paid that way!) Sometimes breaking guarantee by one minute could mean an extra 20+ hours of pay. Breaking guarantee at UAL is comparatively useless. Straight pay for hours flown & no extra days off.
