Did you fly the M11?
Okay you don't have no retirement, but i don't disagree you took it in the shorts.metopower said:cv580 b737-200 737-300 b727 dc10 md11
Was in the 3 rd class only flew the mizuies.
Reason that the 401 match is higher is because we have no retirement like you. So the deal was to give us more to the 401 and a higher life insurance policy to try to bridge the gap. Original DL pilots do not gave a frozen retirement like the NW guys. Pbgc is NOT guaranteed to survive . I lost 1/2 of my retirement so sorry they are giving me a few more percent. And on top of it the NW guys get the same....seems fair.
metopower said:READ FOR YOURSELF:Joanne Smith's rebuttal to the MSP Star Tribune. After reading decide for yourself - does Joanne, then Sr. VP In Flight, Now EVP HR or does Delta Air Lines, have your back? Delta chose, in this case to post a defensive rebuttal instead of opening communication with FAs about the fatigue issue. FAs are still forced to sleep on couches, even a year and a half later because Delta does NOT provide them with a hotel room. Or FAs are forced to walk through the streets of London. This sums up the "Open Relationship" Delta has with its employees. Joanne, who is NOT a FA rebutting a study conducted on behalf of FAs. The points she makes are false and misleading and easily recognized as such by real FAs. God helps those who help themselves.========================================================CounterpointThe May 26 article “Many flight attendants dangerously exhausted” examined an issue that Delta Air Lines takes very seriously. We work closely with our flight attendants to help ensure they have adequate rest opportunities.We believe the vast majority of our flight attendant professionals, who take great pride in their training, customer service and good judgment, would take offense at the assertion that they would choose to fly routes where they would not have the opportunity for adequate rest.A few key points the article overlooked:• Delta’s rules for flight attendant rest, which exceed Federal Aviation Administration requirements, offer great flexibility for attendants to choose the length and duration of trips they work, and they have the ability to manage their schedules to ensure adequate rest.• Of all the trips our flight attendants can choose, the long-haul, international flights described in the article are among the most sought-after.• Delta provides a broad slate of tools to combat fatigue, including rest facilities and opportunities on aircraft and at airports, and hotels that are well-suited for a restful sleep.• Our flight attendants also are provided a wealth of information on fatigue management and strategies for ensuring adequate rest.It’s unfortunate that the article highlighted a tiny number of flight attendants who have had unusual issues in this area, or who may have a hidden agenda.The vast majority of our flight attendants, who are the best in the world, work hard every day to ensure a safe work environment at all times for themselves, their coworkers and their customers.-----Joanne Smith is senior vice president, In-Flight Service, for Delta Air Lines. outsider... Get some current quotes from DL . She is no longer in that position....ps sorry Baba for taking your hotel room.....oh wait that never happened. My bad
But that doesn't fit in with his union propaganda!metopower said:B.s. On both. Profit sharing was changed company wide . Pay raises are in line with what PILOT raises are ...not doctors or lawyer or scientist or FA's or ACS. No openers have been presented on contract 2015 so stop with YOUR miss information. Your just an outsider .you must be envious or something.

As most of you know, I'm a Ramp employee. The following message is to my fellow Rampers. When you see them in the terminal, please offer them words of encouragement on our union drive. After reading this, you'll understand why a union contract is important, especially for newer employees! Thanks.
On April 1st, Ramp employees with 5 1/2 years of seniority will be making $16.36/hr. If Delta would have continued to honor the pay scale used for those hired before Jan 1, 2009 they would have been going up to $20.96/hr. Delta's new pay scale equates to $9,568/yr less for FT employees. Ouch.
It's been ask of Delta to consider bringing these employees back to the original pay scale. The Direct Relationship has failed, the request fell on deaf ears. If you want a real voice and fairness for all, we welcome you to join us in collecting union authorization cards to file for a union election like our fellow flight attendants have done.
Our labor is creating all time record profits, and those of you hired after Jan 1, 2009 should have your labor valued just as much as those employees hired before '09. It's time to demand this from our executives. It's time to sign a union card and get involved. Send me a message and I'll make sure you get authorization cards and instructions for getting them signed.
Congratulations to Delta flight attendants for getting to an election and thank you for supporting our drive as well!
He will not answer. All he does is miss quote and cut and paste propaganda. Mr. Outsider stricken with jealousy.southwind said:But that doesn't fit in with his union propaganda!
Take a poll and see how many things I have been wrong on. Your just an outsider and a union goon .700UW said:How many times do I have to answer the same question?
The members elect their leaders to the District, they write and vote on their own bylaws.
The District runs on its own, how many times do I have to say the same thing?
The District negotiates and enforces the CBA, and even the dues money is sent to the District from the company, not the International.
Same old drivel over and over....you never answer
And you never answer anything, especially when you are proven wrong over and over.
