Alpa Proposal

Everything right now is tight lipped. The MEC had previously declared there would be no agreement until the following 3 key issues are addressed.


* Delta pilots require a contract extension as part of any agreement providing a strategic investment in our company.
* Delta pilots understand that our company has a long-term debt problem. The MEC believes there is a "Delta solution" to this "Delta problem." The MEC does not believe that our pilot costs must be aligned with the pilot costs at restructured airlines for our company to be profitable.
* Delta pilots feel strongly that all stakeholders must participate in our airline's recovery. Additionally, your Negotiating Committee will not enter into a tentative agreement in which our investment fuels future executive bonuses, executive special retirement plans and stock buy back programs.
 
the public probably won't see any details as ALPA and Delta are negotiating. Why? If an agreement is not reached, they will be starting regular negotiations on the contract very soon anyway. I would bet neither side wants their last position to be known, because it may create a default starting position for full negotiations.
