Grassroots Efforts at DL for ACS and FAs, no personal attacks.

I haven't seen the ad or any of them, Meto, but I will say that I am glad that DL is featuring its below wing personnel in its ads...

on that note, the latest DOT consumer report came out recently and it shows that DL's operational performance continues to be well above average for the industry. DL's OT was only beat by Hawaiian - which has a whole lot better weather to work with. and better than other carriers like AS which are known for their solid operations.

in fact at SEA< DL had a better OT performance than AS.

DL's OT performance in NYC is better than any other carrier with large operations there.

those figures as well as the very low rate of cancellations - already one of the lowest in the industry - are the efforts of ALL DL employees.

WN has PAGES and PAGES of chronically late flights in that DOT report.

However, DL's baggage handling is done almost exclusively by below wing personnel (above wing have a part)

DL's baggage handling was the best of any large carriers. Virgin and Frontier had higher scores but DL's rate was almost half of AA's rate (both AA and US baggage handling got worse over the last year while DL's improved fairly dramatically and UA's improved slightly) WN's baggage handling got slightly better whiel FL's (one of the worst last year) got better but not as good as WN's.

DL's below wing CSAs do a great job and they deserve more than a few ads on CNN to highlight what they do.

it's also worth noting that DL is the only US airline that serves all 29 of the US' required 29 airports that are required for OT reporting and DL also serves more reportable airports (basically any flight that touches the largest 29 airports in the US including nearly all major cities) with mainline aircraft (137 airports) than any other airline with mainline aircraft. AA/US serve 94 airports in the US, UA 74, and WN 86.

The size of DL's mainline domestic network is incredible and growing.

With no contract signed, there's nothing stopping the company from changing any part of any of this "at any time, for any reason."
 
 

So it would seem. Bully for us. Still doesn't change that you were talking out of your a$$ a couple of days ago.
 
NW mechanics had a contract.
 
Said I heard we were getting a raise and verified 3 days later.
 
Apparently some people are pissed when they get a raise where a union isn't involved and you sound like one of them!
 
Maybe you can tell them since the raise isn't in a contract, you don't want it!

I would like to congratulate all the Delta employees receiving these raises.  The early PS is just that, early, the balance will come in Feb as originally planned.   Does anyone know what this will put the mechanics at in pay at Delta?  Will it be $40 plus?  It might help out the AA guys a little...
 
swamt,
you know the value of profit sharing.

DL employees earned the equivalent of 1 month's extra pay with their total profit sharing for 2013 (paid this Feb) for a total of $500 million.

DL is on track to pay out between $900M and $1B in profit sharing - the equivalent of 7 to 8 weeks of extra pay.

I am thrilled that DL employees are enjoying profit sharing as high as the levels WN employees have enjoyed and more significantly that it means that DL is being run as well as WN has been even in the best of times.

Has WN ever recorded profit sharing that exceeded 2 months worth of pay at WN?

Thx for the response Kev.
My I ask what the add ons are?  Lc prem, shift diff, longevity, line pay if any?
 
No problem!
 
License premium is $2.13 (max of 2)
 
Line pay is .75/hr.
 
Shift differential is: .45 for 2nd shift & .52 for 3rd
 
No longevity pay that I'm aware of.
 
since nobody has put the two charts together that 700 posted, this a good time to note that DL's pay raise immediately erased APFA's claim that it had negotiated an industry leading contract.

Not only did it take a fraction of the raise DL gave its FAs to beat AA's new rate, but DL FAs will receive at least 10% and probably 12% or more in profit sharing which further increases the lead that DL FAs have over its peers.

They earned every cent of the raise as evidenced by the superior customer service they deliver.
