Probably just read pay rates. Voted yes.

this has nothing to do with reflection. It’s all about historical sick call statistics and when people call out. Memorial Day doesn’t seem to be it.

I've heard at Delta, that is Superbowl Sunday with the most sickouts, at least in the past.

Halloween not a "holiday" for Delta, but Memorial Day is.

Delta has NYE, NYD, Xmas Eve, Xmas Day, Thanksgiving, Memorial, and Independence Day as "add pay" holidays for the pilots.

Says “The Chiilun” who expects dad to pay for his job. Gotta ask, are you saving your retro check or blowing it?

He’s saving it so he doesn’t have to work until 67

Myopic point of view. Think you’re scoring internet points? Project an average new hire 401K to retirement, until there’s a downturn.

Special K hiring like a rat on cocaine. Hope the exuberance pays off. If it doesn’t,

WHO PAYS FOR THE GAMBLE?

Project an average WB CA earnings with two extra years of artificial seniority. Have you already spent that too? Better write your reps to get 70 on the docket.

I’m against increasing the retirement age for reasons that aren’t financial or seniority based.

It amazes me that a group averaging a 30 or so year career with meteoric opportunities rarely seen in the past, votes for those with a much less lucrative career to pay for their furloughs, then screams about age 67. You’ve come this far, why don’t you just ask for the WB Capt’s bank account number/ password and finish him off.

Who’s going to pay for the gamble?

Aren’t we all working on Halloween? 5:15?.

Do reserves get the 5:15 if assigned a trip on Halloween? I couldn’t find anything in the contract that excluded reserves.

Yes, 5:15 if assigned. No holiday pay for being available to the company and unused. 🙄
