Gave raises only to the PMDL employees? Yeah, probably.
Gave raises to all employees? No. In fact, they went on record as saying they wouldn't. You don't remember that?

Point is whether unionized or not , paycuts happen. Only difference being unionized, you paid someone a monthly fee for said paycut !
Instead of saying, "We're getting profit sharing and a raise next year", it's " Uh, they can issue paycuts anytime" !
You would rather say the glass is half empty, instead of the glass is half full ........................just sayin' !

No, the difference is we had a say in the direction we wanted to head on the way out of the courthouse. You were told what you were gonna get and to like it.

I'm not following you down that rabbit hole.
You know the answer, and you know the difference between having someone advocate for you in court, and not.
We collectively decided on how to go about saving the company. AA employees will have the same. You not only prefer otherwise, but apparently are glad to do so. You can try to rationalize it all you want, but in the end that's what it comes down to.
If you have an ounce of critical thinking ability, you'd recognize the motive(s) behind these proposed July pay increases, and see them for what they are.

Kevin,
when do you think DL employees can expect to see the impact of these motives?

No...............you can rationalize it anyway "You" want, but in the end "Everyone" takes a pay-cut !

There you go again with your "Glass is half empty" mentality !

... And there you go; perfectly content to whistle past the graveyard...
Enjoy your pay increase (should it come to fruition). Just know the calculated reasoning behind it.

The question remains, Kevin, as to what difference the motive behind the pay raise makes to the average DL employee.
.
It was well known in the industry during the deregulated era of the industry that DL paid its employees above average salaries in order to keep labor peace. WN and CO adopted that policy during the early years of the deregulated era and they prospered because of it while 15 years or so ago DL mgmt lost track of that value. Current management has built a business model that sustains above average pay for DL employees compared to its network peers.
.
If any company can accomplish its strategic objectives and the employees believe they are being treated as good as or better than their peers, then they don't really care what motives the company has.

Regardless of whether you trust mgmt or not, the wisest people <_< will be those that will ignore the itch to spend and instead use the profit-sharing and pay raises to increase financial flexibility, a paramount advantage to both individuals and companies in uncertain times - exactly where we live right now.
