From the union email:

"your MEC will be working on a Letter of Agreement which could streamline and expedite the recall process of furloughed pilots"

Whatever that means!

Should be reflected on delta.com shortly.

I know what you mean, they could have done a lot more to bring people back. One thing I can think of is "Part-time Lines"

What are you doing these days Jesse, are u back in the US?

it's been a while, but the union has taken this to the company before. If memory serves, the company rejected it because they wanted part-timers to lose their medical benefits and the union objected. I also remember hearing a CP say management thought it would be bad PR if word got out that we had part-time pilots. whatever.

There are tons of things the company could do to make life easier on our crews. Even Scheduling wants more of you guys back on line than what we've recalled. But the union/Scheduling don't make those decisions.

In addition to benefits being a sticking point, part time lines do not work. There is nothing "part time" about them. Look at our FAs. They have "part time" lines yet they work 3 4-day trips with a few 2 or 3 day trips thrown in there just to get their lines up to min line value for part time flying.

So essentially, they are "part time" with no benefits working almost a full schedule all month long.
