In case anyone thought that Delta management was any better than the other carriers, here is what the low life, thieving scum at Delta got for themselves.

Here is the NEW "incentive compensation plan" for Delta's top managers. If you do the math, $20/share times 30 Million shares, this "incentive" for the Board of Directors, and top managers, equals over $600 Million.

April 30, 2007

PROSPECTUS

DELTA AIR LINES, INC.

2007 PERFORMANCE COMPENSATION PLAN

This document (the “Prospectus”) contains important information about the Delta Air Lines, Inc. 2007 Performance Compensation Plan (the “2007 Plan”). Accordingly, please read this document carefully. Under the terms of the 2007 Plan, Delta Air Lines, Inc. (“Delta”) may grant awards of our Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”), and awards that are based on our Common Stock to our employees and other service providers.

***********

This document constitutes part of a prospectus covering securities that have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of the United States.

INFORMATION ABOUT THE 2007 PLAN

Purpose of the 2007 Plan
The 2007 Plan is intended to incentivize of those individuals who are expected to contribute significantly to our success in achieving short-term and long-term financial and business objectives and are expected generally to further the best interests of Delta and its shareowners.

Eligibility
Any employee, consultant or advisor of, or other individual who provides services to, Delta, any of our affiliates or any other entity in which we have a significant equity interest may participate in the 2007 Plan if selected for participation by the Committee (as defined below). In addition, members of our Board of Directors (the “Board”) are eligible to receive awards under the 2007 Plan. “Affiliate” means any entity that either, directly or indirectly, controls us, is controlled by us or is under common control with us.

Authorized Shares and Limitations
Subject to certain adjustments, up to 30,000,000 shares of our Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, will be available for awards to be granted under the 2007 Plan. Shares of Common Stock to be issued under the 2007 Plan may be made available from authorized but unissued Common Stock or Common Stock that we acquire in the open market or otherwise. If any shares of our Common Stock are covered by an award (other than a substitute award as defined below) that is cancelled, forfeited or otherwise terminates without the delivery of shares (including the number of shares surrendered or withheld in payment of any exercise or price of an award or taxes related to an award, other than shares underlying a stock appreciation right settled in stock to the extent the award is settled without the issuance of shares), then such shares will again be available for issuance under the 2007 Plan.

No participant may receive under the 2007 Plan in any calendar year stock options and stock appreciation rights that relate to more than 2,000,000 shares of our Common Stock; restricted stock or restricted stock units that relate to more than 1,000,000 shares; or performance awards and other stock-based awards that relate to more than 1,500,000 shares. In addition, the maximum amount that may be paid in cash to any participant in a calendar year for an annual cash incentive is $10 million and the maximum long-term cash incentive award is $10 million determined on an annualized basis.

Administration
The Personnel and Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of our Board will administer the 2007 Plan and will have authority to select individuals to whom awards are granted, determine the types of awards and number of shares covered, and determine the terms and conditions of awards, including the applicable vesting schedule, the effect of termination of service and whether the award will be settled in cash, shares or a combination of the two. The Committee may delegate to one or more individuals or committees the authority to grant awards to participants who are not executive officers or members of our Board. The members of the Committee are selected by our Board and serve at the pleasure of the Board. They do not have any predetermined term of office but may be removed at any time by the Board.

Oh but they EARNED it.

Just like Doogie Parker, Tilton and the AMR managers earned their stock bonuses.

All on the backs of the pilots, flight attendants, mechanics and airport operations employees.

The MANAGERS will defend all this to the DEATH under the mantra "we have to retain our skilled leadership."
 
But that's ok. Delta is gonna come outta Ch.11 and KICK SOME A$$!

Never mind the crappy contract and the stolen retirement...TC

Crappy contract? Compared to whose? Valujets? Contract looks good compared to the rest of the industry. Not close to where it was two years ago thanks to most posting on this board! Pattern bargaining, give it a try instead of prostituting yourself.

Yeah, exactly! All of them make me sick to my stomach! :puke:
 
I am by no means a management fan, but I have to admit that the folks at DAL did an amazing job turning this ship around. I mean my god the place was doomed. And on top of that they gave the creditors 62 cents on a dollar. That is a heck of a lot less than other carriers have done.
We will not have to wait and see how this big gamble comes out.

Uh... Delta has been out of bankruptcy for less than a week. I'm not certain the ship is steering the other direction just yet.

Only thing you can count on in this poker game is that the workers will lose.

Grinchstein came to Delta through the back-door in the Western merger. He brought along the 13 737-300's that had the most unfavorable leases anyone had ever seen. Delta couldn't fly these airplanes 25 hours a day and make any money with them. Shortly after orchestrating a coup to get rid of all the "old guard" on the BOD, Grinchstein began the process of selling and leasing back everything that wasn't already leased. What happened to all that cash? Good question. Leo was brought in because of his ties to GE Credit. Michelle was brought in to protect the leasors in bankruptcy. It was all about getting the cash out of Delta...prior to Grinchstein, Delta owned almost all its fleet outright and had over a billion dollars of cash on hand...Delta was better off than Southwest ever was.

One of the interesting things that came out in bankruptcy court was that Delta had been paying much higher than market rates for all of its leased (formerly owned) aircraft. Surprise, surprise!

Pretty obvious: Grinchstein was taking all the profits out through the equipment leases...when he'd gotten all he could, he went to bankruptcy to get the pensions and rob the other creditors. All the while looking like a hero.

This is not news. The railroads did it back in the late 50's and early 60's. Read all about it. The only thing that saved the railroad workers was the unions finally raised the BS flag and stood up to management. (When was the last time time you heard of a railroad worker being asked to give up his wages because the price of fuel has gone up?).

Nothing has changed. Management is going to continue to keep workers at the bottom until we do what the railroad workers did. Unionize everyone.
 
Nice short! We knew it was going down after the Delta thing.

I know. It didn't take a brain surgeon, although I initiated it shortly after he announced his intentions. I think we're all much better off with the way things turned out. If Parker had his way we'd be sitting here for next 2 years trying to figure out what the H was going on.
 
Where is ALPA? There is gotta be something they can do. Or at least try.

Eligibility
"Any employee, consultant or advisor of, or other individual who provides services to....."

Don't let the slanted title of this thread throw you.

47,000 DAL employees, they deserve $$$ too for their concessions. The pilots got a $2.1B claim, which sold at just over 60 cents on the dollar and a $650M note to divide among 6,500 pilots, don't you think the other employees also deserve something?
 
Who Cares?

That's why they do what THEY DO....and YOU do what you DO.

Don't like it?

Quit.

I am. Sooner, rather than later.

There's a Big-Fat-Doobie, a Boat, an RV, and two or three Young Latin Women who tend to agree with me.


YKW

P.S.- How do I edit my profile? I need to note 5.1 MORE Hours of JET ( BOEING ) P.I.C. ........OH YEAH.

Wanted: Strong charismatic leader.

Where is ALPA? There is gotta be something they can do. Or at least try.

ALPA is only as strong as its membership.

During the "Woerthless" regime there was a total lack of leadership/direction at ALPA. Every working agreement was gutted and scope and job protections went down. The courts prevented striking, so ALPA had to take what it was given. Until we stop fractionalizing the pilot ranks with all the independent, in-house unions, there will never be a union strong enough to turn around the present slide in employee working conditions.

Personally, I think ALPA is dead. If we are going to have a strong union to represent ALL pilots...major, commuter, fractional, 135...it will probably have to start from scratch. Maybe the IBT? Who knows? We still need a strong, charismatic leader to get a movement going. The bureacratic likes of Duane Woerth will never suffice.

One thing is for sure, until all pilots realize we have to stick together, nothing is going to improve. Right now pilots seems to be having too much fun fighting other pilots to join ranks and fight the enemy.

We need a single strong union and a national seniority list to make it work. However, I think it'll take a lot more misery and further degradation before everyone can swallow ther pride and join the effort.
