Looking at this new reserve bucket system, to me it has the potential to take what was event spread out flying based on one thing - whether you had weekends off or not, and tilts towards senior pilots and brings everyone else down. I'll wait and see how this works out but the improvements in pcs and sc are fantastic, the rest of this looks like ****. It like the OWS, spread the wealth my way requires bringing everyone else down.

-I'm a Capt and my minimum is about 40-50% over the life of the contract, plus other things like scope, scheduling, DC plan etc. How about 20-25% at DOS then about 8, 8, and 8. I'm equally concerned about scope and JV's as much as pay.

Don't forget minimum day, like a calendar day, of 5:15 minimum for flying, training, and vacation.

Outstanding! I'm on-board with your thinking. Let us not forget, we ARE working under a concessionary contract (albeit with some improvements, and thank-you Negotiating Committee for those). Of course we don't negotiate in a vacuum, but SOMEBODY has to let the "air" back into this vacuum vessel we find ourselves in. Let it be us. The pilots of Delta Airlines. I sincerely hope that it is under the banner of Delta ALPA, in THIS section 6 negotiation process.

Chuck

How about rounding it up to an even 6:00 per calendar day including training and vacation?

Nevermind, figured it out. I thought it was a higher time trip than it was, it's not and below the line construction window. Then I gave it nothing that it could use to get inside the LCW. Oh well.........
