Delta TA-whos seen it?

[Jar Jar]

What is your definition of a small city? Bos-JFK, DFW-JFK, SLC-sfo, the list goes on and on. These 76 seat AC are replacing mainline. You need to take a closer look into what we are actually flying.

LGA-ORD / JFK-ORD

On second thought, meh. 1st and 3rd most populous cities in the country, let the RJ pukes handle it. Who cares what our customers think.

I just heard tonight 4%, 8%, 3%, 3%. But a 20% cut in profit sharing?

Profit sharing stays the same. But did you hear how long of a contract?

Nobody really knows if that is true, but we heard that 5 days ago on the DALPA board. Are you sure you are a Delta pilot as you have stated? You just heard that last night???? Anyway, most people would vote that down, primarily because it supposedly took them only 2 days to negotiate pay. If that was the case, why wouldn't they have stayed negotiating a few more, or even a month more? We are currently 7 months early on the ammendable date. It looks like Delta wants this done for some reason, and that could be considered leverage to some. It may not even pass through the MEC, who has 7 days to look the TA over. If those are the rates, I hope they vote it down and back to the Negotiators.

If that rumor is true (???), then the first 4% would be date of signing (let's say July 1st?). The second 8% would be Jan 1st, 2013 (a day after the ammendable date (Dec 31st, 2012)---so essentially it would be a 12% raise the first year counting the ammendable date). Then 3% the next two January 1st's. That would be a 3 year contract, supposedly. I think that is way too low. The rumor may have been thrown out there as a floater to see the reaction, or to give a low ball offer first, then add percentage points and make people "relieved", even though the second offer is still low.

It's true but not a typical contract in terms of length.

You are right, I don't know if I have ever seen a 3 year contract. And, did you say you know this is a "true" rumor? You mean the rumor is correct?

Well maybe you've seen something for the first time.

Ok, you've lost me again. Have you "seen" the actual TA and are you leaking the actual numbers? I'm not trying to mess with you, I just don't understand you.

6 yr deal

19% DOS
2.9% each year
That's 33.5% after 6 yrs.

Scope:
76 seat max
Remove "widebody" clause
For every 1 new mainline A/C = 1 new DCI 76 seat A/C


Will see how close I got it.....
