New DL Marketing Campaign = "High Quality Industrial Transport Company"

You need to check out what your leaders are saying.

Bwahahaha.

Awesome.

 

[WorldTraveler]

awesome in its truth.

Perhaps you can help remind us how much was the value that DL said profit sharing would be in total?

 

[Kev3188]

Plenty.

Gonna be bedlam across the system I'm sure.

Perhaps you can help remind us how much you'll be expecting your check to be come 2/14?

 

[WorldTraveler]

Why would there be bedlam and how does whether I or anyone else on this forum receive anything affect the total?

 

[eolesen]

Gee, it was so nice and quiet yesterday...

 

[Kev3188]

Indeed.

 

[WorldTraveler]

Gee, it was so nice and quiet yesterday...

IOW, you two want to be able to monopolize the conversation by silencing any opposing thoughts. how original.

the only noise yesterday was your incessant attempts at boosting your self-esteem, I mean, reputation scores, as a proxy for having an actual conversation.

It's only about a 10 year trend.

For those still interested in the actual topic, "actual DL employees" get a Christmas card from the company. I assume each division gets their own version? At any rate, the ACS one has a nod to DL being "more than an airline" in it.

DL's level of outsourcing is lower than every other carrier except for AA based on DOT data for 2012, even without the MRO work.

With the MRO work, DL's net level of outsourcing is the lowest in the industry.

You need to check out what your leaders are saying. Profit sharing is going up from under $400M last year to $500M this year... that's a pretty hefty increase. DL INCREASED the total amount of profit sharing even though the percent went down... precisely because of much stronger profits.

It's public info so anyone can even find it - it was discussed on the investor call.

and if they hadn't cut 5-6% from it, what would it have been? 
 
Oh yeah, full of win. 

 

[Kev3188]

Let's also remember that while everyone is focused on the 10% vs. 15% discussion, the percentage of income number has changes every year. People say that DL employees "asked" for more in their checks. Well, why not take something you can (literally) bank on, as opposed to something that's subject to whatever mood the C-Suite's in that day?

Really? I didn't see anyone shouting down the opposition, claiming the moral high ground while acting otherwise, or trying to tell someone they don't know their place..

Incessant you say?...

I did notice that Spectator is no longer part of the forums, so congratulations on being man enough to stop using the hidden in plain sight account.

Or maybe the mods killed it off.

Either way, it looks like I'll have to come up with a new signature image.

I'm glad DL management is taking care of its employees..... glad they are getting healthy profit sharing that is based on the solid performance of the company which is absolutely driven by the employees and not just a whim of management.

BTW, DL has ACTIVE employees and RETIREEs (and then a few others). There is no classification of ACTUAL employees since presumably the opposite category would be VIRTUAL employees, of which there are none. Even retirees are ACTUAL employees, they just aren't active.

I noticed "he" was sent to the corn field, too. Whiskey Tango's reputation is down to -221…congrats on mounting a successful campaign!

Sure was nice, wasn't it?

You know what else was enjoyed in your absence? A lack of ^this^ sort of pretzel logic.


If the term "actual DL employee" bothers you so that much, maybe you shouldn't have introduced it into the discussion.

That won't last long...
