NWA 757 paid less than Deltas. NWA a330 darn near paid less than Deltas 757s.
I get it. You don't. It matters
ONLY if you think the
basis for the pay disparity should reflect in the SLI. Since the formula reflects their productivity, the issue becomes neutral.
It appears our side is making an issue of the
numbers of jobs that were attached to aircraft that had bigger numbers in the mutually-accepted formula.
YOU appear to believe that fluctuating rates are more important that the underlying
basis for the rates.
Neogitating captital, a lot of it, was used to bring NWA up to Delta compensation, and then give NWA equity.
1. So what? Your tenure at DAL doesn't give you the first-hand experience to put that in context. Remember when you went on strike to generate leverage? No? You didn't?
2. Was it done unilaterally or with preconditions WRT the SLI? If your answer to both of those questions is "no" [Hint: It is], it has no bearing on the matter at hand.
3. Inadmissable. Deal with it...
That will be reflected in the NWA career expectations as well as Delta career expectations. It is not a dream. It is reality. Your pay sucked. Our sucked much less. That matters, a lot.
The
rates won't...the
numbers of pilots will. Ironically, that is the essence of your side's proposal.
The "reality" is that pay rates don't matter...either before, or after. What matters is where we are on the list, and how important the panel feels our
expectations of movement are. One of those is measurable. One is not.
I guess next is Superdupercalifragilistic premium widebody flying. Or perhaps the argument that red is a more senior color than blue. Oh yeah, age, let's use that.
Grow up.
The descriptor is used to differentiate aircraft by size. Simple terms like "widebody" get blurry when a "narrowbody" B757-300 carries more than a "widebody" B767...or a "widebody" A330 is lumped as the equivalent of a
smaller "widebody" such as the B767ER.
We reached a compromise on the pay rates for those aircraft within the JCBA, but we
KNOW size matters when we talk numbers of pilots...because we tie our
productivity to size. And productivity is the bedrock of our contract.
Oh, BTW, the C2K springboard came off of United, whos springboard came off of our 777/764 agreement--they called it the Delta dot--just to bring you up to the facts pertaining c2k
What springboard did you use for the 777/764 agreement?
It's called Pattern Bargaining. It means timing matters. It means the actions of
other pilot groups matter. And really, it means that sometimes it don't matter
who you are,
what you are, or even
how good you are. Sometimes all that matters is
when you are.
Still waiting for you to provide some examples of the "recent experience" you cited here:
While that is your opinion, recent experience has shown something somewhat different.
