Lol

You guys act like we weren't "owned" by Delta already.

Nothing has changed for us.

Someone else will just get richer.

All part of the plan.

Move along.......Move along..............

The "substantial penalties" were vulnerable. They could have been circumvented. The goal was to make the DAL PWA better for DAL pilots.

Moak wasn't the only fish in the tank. But you're not changing your point of view. By the way, the DAL pwa was not up for re-negotiation on July 1, 2010.

The larger point is that being wholly owned does not magically work out positively for 9e simply because someone can point to one example of a situation where an ex-wholly owned company is currently (today only) doing alright. To completely ignore the history behind such a statement only does a disservice to people trying to decide what their future holds. This is not the same circumstance, not even close.

If I heard correctly, a topped out 9E FA would make more than a topped out FO. What self respectig FO would vote yes to this?

Untrue, as per the new FA agreement their pay scale tops out at 15 years and at about $32 and change, the FO pay scale under the new TA will top out at $37 and change. The only time an FA will make more money than an FO are the 6+ years FA's will make more than first year FO's, once a first officer hits year 2 pay they will make more than any FA on property.
