Longevity, sick time, vacation, and medical coverage will continue to accrue for the COLA people. Pay cuts will also have a wondrous effect on the staffing formula.
Just like at mainline Delta, right?

Of course, LOAs mean something different to us, too. What if the company and union agreed to an LOA that guarantees that LOA's would be offered prior to furloughs...would that be confusing? And shouldn't it be coloa? or does that sound too much like an alcoholic beverage?doh said:That is confusing for me too! The rest of the world calls then LOAs.
Holy Shiite said:So how do you feel about your newly retired "brethren" getting their nice big fat lump sum and still keeping Delta Pilots furloughed and preventing upgrades by "contracting" themselves to continue flying the top of the pay scale aircraft??????????? Get your own house in order before you point the finger of shame at pilots that make less then most Delta Pilots pay in taxes. HS
FlyComAirJets said:If there are any long term furloughs, I certainly would advocate an assessment for COBRA (or even short term, for that matter).
That situation is down the road ... for now.
