In all honesty inflation has been less than 3% except for 2011 when it was 3.2%.

2014 1.6
2013 1.5
2012 2.1
2011 3.2
2010 1.6
2009 -0.4

Increased productivity for one. They now have 6 week bid months. The entire holiday season will be covered by one bid.

Also they're years past their amenable date. The increase pay should've happened a while ago so without nuking out the math they're losing money if they'd ratified this same contract on time.

5 year delay to a 57% ratification. Their mgmt def won this round.

Just to let you guys know, much of what is being posted on here is not accurate. For starters we didn't go to 6 week bid periods.

We were 2.5 years past amenable date. As a WB Capt. I'm getting a $39,000 signing bonus. My hourly rate goes to $286 on 01NOV. I'm ANC based so every trip has a $10/hr override.

Was that removed from the TA somehow?

Edit: Interesting, a few clicks and I'm educating my FedEx buddies. I stand erected.

Do you have a reference for that? "The Negotiating Committee said ..." won't hold water for an arbitrator. Where does the TA, err, CBA say that?


Nowhere.

Now who at Delta was/is asking for "crazy raises?" You know nothing of which you speak. Stay in your lane. Delta pilots did not like the concessions and voted a TA down by a margin of 2-1. Not one of them I know said it wasn't enough money.
