Any "Latest & Greatest" about Delta?
Had a chief pilot office guy on Jumpseat. He said 30% of pilots are using max sick leave. Northside guys are main users because their sick time they saved up at NW was stolen in merger.
No doubt company wants to fix that. He said that equates to some crazy number like 90 million. Flew with a ALPA guy and he said same thing. Easy to connect those dots. Hope we don't give in.

If I'm sick, I'm not flying. What change would they make?

If they want major givebacks in QOL for a few more coins, personally I would rather keep the current contract with profit sharing. I can live with our current pay(even if profit sharing is less or none), I don't want to work anymore days than I do now.

Keep in mind the JV partners are also accelerating parking their 747's.

Not YOUR doctor, but someone else.
The 30% number is utter BS. There is a minority that's under 10% that takes the majority of the sick leave used. It is however base dependant but one of those bases is NYC not a North base. The NWA sick leave conversion was explained many times on the old forum. It was not stolen.

I've never been to the chit chat forum. I googled and nothing comes up.
Carl, just like C12K, it's the Company who wants 'speed', and notice they also want to cap our Profit sharing...Hmm...I wonder why they would want to hurry...
If they can get us to pay for our next raises, like we did in C12K, by making negative changes to our profit sharing, they will also make those changes company wide, i.e. all the Non-Contract people will lose out as well.
And then, in 2016, Delta earns $10 Billion.
And we're sucking wind, again.
Yeah, that's why the Company wants Speed.
