Regional Elite Handling Services

[REASben]

Just yesturday and today we have had two very nice ladies from Elite in our Station (MIA). We had and all day Q&A. I like many others had a munch of questions that where answered and feel alot safer about the future.

They will offer medical for Full-timers & Part-Timers. the site is already up for those that are curremtly working for any of the 3 airlines. Last day to register is Sept 1st. The price for coverage is just about the same as Comair had before and the coverage is great. Medical, Dental, Life, Accident & Eye.

Uniforms will be Gray Bottoms and Blue Tops. There are selected stations that will be wearing the new uniforms as early as next week. Not all will get uniforms right away, they are first testing for feedback. Also IDs should be ready in 3 weeks.

PTO has not yet been decided on. Comair vs Pinn. and Mess are totally diff. example. Comair=13.5 HR every Month and Messaba is somehting like 30 HRS for the Year. So it will be something in Between.

The elite website will be up as early as Next week.

Profit Sharing- Quarterly Performance and they are also working on a Yearly BONUS (profit sharing)

401k will be same as Comair.

There is more, I will try to asnswer as much as I remember, so be have patiance. They will be visiting others stations Monday thru Sept 15th....

Did the nice ladies say anything at all about flight benefits?

I did express how much it SUCKS to fly with S3C and asked if we would ever (at least) see your 6 yearly S2's come back. The answer was not Good. I was just given the whole; we should be happy to even be flying for FREE since we are no-longer and Airline, blah,blah,blah.... Benefits Remain the same....

Same here, it seems we will always be S3C on connection.

That's true. Its seems that someone in an office decided to break the CSAs off from the "airline." You're still a wholly owned Delta subsidiary.

But why doesn't that answer surprise me?

"...we'll retain 80% of Zed fares..." You mean "zed agreements"? Why only 80%?? is it still 18 transoceanics/travel days per year? what about parents?
