The 717 seat configuration delays might be a factor.

Bet fly4hire is interested too. 60 or so senior to 6900 but that feature doesn't tell the whole story.

In the number of awarded positions maybe. Don't forget it has to be verified through the ALPA office for accuracy before being released.

Does anyone know if the delay pushes future deliveries from Southwest behind schedule or does it just create a backlog with the initial airplanes and then a bunch come on line in a row in Dec/Jan and Feb?

Second Quarter 2013: 844 million

Add it up and you're close to two BILLION dollars in net profit under contract 2012.

And let's look at stock performance. July 2, 2012, the first day the market was open under Contract 2012, Delta closed at $11.12. Today it's over $23 a share...more than double, Delta has been added to the S&P 500 and supposedly we are on track for our best quarterly performance in Delta's history.

I'd say an absolutely stellar performance by Delta management.

Yes, 4, 8.5, 3, 3 are "better than a sharp stick in the eye" but with all the "best and brightest financial consultants available" in Herndon, VA let's compare Delta's results with our "gains".

Draw your own conclusions...
Nobody doubted DAL's performance is stellar. How did you plan on getting more of those dollars?

LCC was and is still paying 757 CA's $144.02 (AW $141.85)
UAL was paying 757 CA's . $160.53 before the JCBA.
CAL was paying 757 CA's . $169.33 before the JCBA.

DAL was paying 757CA's . $188.96 prior to C2012 ($19-$45 ahead of peers)

We all want more, but when a majority of your peer group is severely lagging your compensation already it is a tough sell to the NMB to get a release.

How far ahead of them did we get with C2012? Do you think another substantial jump like previously will be a reasonable negotiating stance in Spring of 2015?

Shiznit,

I don't need it in straight pay. I'd rather have the company fill me up to the 415c limit than get it in my check. Why did we take concessions?

It just bunches them up. With DAL receiving a bunch at one time and then back on schedule.

How many months has the longest running 717 pilot been skating?
