Delta Pilots C2K Restoration Facts
(Contract 2013 Survey Reference Guide)



■2004 LOA #46 concessions saves Delta nearly $1B per year[1]


■2006 LOA #51 Pilot Pension termination savings potential excess of $1B[2]


■Concessions1: Since 2004 (just a few of the highlights)
■32.5% Pay Cut = 29.5% when adjusted for pay rate increases through 2012
(Requires a 41.5% increase to restore C2K w/o a COLA)
■(PMNW) 29% total Pay Cut = 5% when adjusted for 2012 B757 pay rates
(received a 33% increase to this rate)
■Per Diem Reduced (Int. $2.90 to $2.50, Dom. $2.40 to $2.00)
■Night Pay lost (CA - $15, FO - $10)
■International Pay reduced (CA - $8 to $6, FO - $6 to $4)
■Reduced Vacation Day Value (3.75 to 3.0)
■Lost 6th week of Vacation
■Sick Leave Bank system greatly reduced & diluted
■Accident Leave reduced (120 days to 90 days)
■Change to PBS scheduling system with loss of reserve High/Low Yellow Slip
■Monthly Cap system changed to ALV reducing the minimum monthly guarantees
■Delta 2008 Contract vs Industry Leaders[3]: (a few more highlights)
■15+ year CA B767, $189hr vs $262hr (a 39% increase, C2K = $268hr)
■12 year FO % of CA pay, 68.3% vs 71.6%
■Regular Line Guarantee, 65hrs vs 81hrs
■Reserve Line Guarantee, 70hrs vs 81hrs
■Vacation Pay Per Day, 3.00hrs vs 6.00hrs
■Training Pay, 3:15hrs vs 4:40hrs (3:30 if <6:00hrs, think CQ on CD or distance learning)
■Sick Leave, 240hrs (3yr spread) w/ no bank vs 90hrs year w/ 1080hr bank
■Medical PPO + Dental monthly premium, $399 vs $35
■Disability Pay, 50% vs 66.6%



■Delta carries 160 million passengers per year[4]


■Delta has successfully raised fares 10 times this year $6 - $10 round trip[5]


■Delta made $952M in “Baggage Fees” alone during 2010[6]


■A $1B contract restoration would cost $6.25 per passengers
(This happens to be the price of Delta’s “Fruit & Cheese Plate” or a Venti, Non-fat Latte)



Can Delta Air Lines afford to restore C2K ? or even C2K+ ?



Tell DALPA what YOU think, fill out the survey AND contact your LEC representatives.

I didn't see where managements salary is well above 2001 levels, adjusted for inflation out to 2050. Whats the old adage again, "With a management salary, you are able to buy a new Cirrus each month.".

How much would you love to see that is 4x daily on RAH E175s!!!! And we'd do it for 1/2 that of what Frontier charges. and oh if we had risk sharing.
