We faced furious passengers, sat around at airports, paid for hotel rooms out of pocket, and much more so I don’t think expecting compensation for that is unreasonable. Here’s what I think our compensation should include:

1. accountability for the meltdown from management and a commitment to modernize our IT. This is #1 for me. Constantly trying to blame Crowdstrike is unacceptable in my opinion. Other airlines recovered immediately. We didn’t. I think IT is the reason why and we need to make sure this doesn’t happen again.

2. write off the expense of the meltdown as a 1 time write off so it doesn’t factor into our profit sharing. It’s not our fault this meltdown occurred and our profit sharing shouldn’t suffer because of it.

3. Positive space tickets. I think 2 round trip tickets or 4 one way tickets would be acceptable.

anything I’m missing?

What became PCS was a product of C2k, and was implemented in 18 months (1 year implementation date, which was then slid six months). When you stop and think about what PCS does, that's pretty impressive.

I got a nice chunk of EDP and RR pay. If they agree to pay for my long LYFT ride I'll be satisfied.

If Delta is going to go this route, which they have in the past, I think they should delay the reward/compensation announcement until this whole mess is forgotten as "last weeks" news.
