DL announcing raises, changes to Profit Sharing

[diamondcutter]

yes, it is likely that DL employees will gain even more raises while their peers at other airlines are locked into long-term contracts that don't include profit sharing.

We both know was about you being in a cornfield

wherever in the world I was traveling doesn't change one iota that DL non-contract employees have racked up the largest increase in compensation this year among their peers at US airlines.

DL employees still have profit sharing that should be on par with what WN employees get on a percentage basis while passing them in at least some cases as the highest paid airline employees in the US.

DL people are running an outstanding operation and the company is rewarding them richly for the success of the airline.

DL employees, their customers, everyone in the Delta family, and the company ALL win.

It is hard to find anyone that can successfully argue against that.

High fives for DL employees in lots of places.

there are even some of them that work near the cornfields and cornfields aren't just a US concept.

All WN's CBAs contain profit sharing as does PMUS CWA represented employees.

Is anyone sure he's not a BOT? Maybe some computer algorithm that posts off triggers and has a set of words that jumble around to produce responses?

This is nothing new to the frontline folks at Delta. This was merely Delta responding to the employees wishes to have less of their pay tied to to the once-a-year, highly variable payout in February we call profit-sharing. This was one of the areas that the company asked employees for their opinions on in the annual survey.... It's not as if profit-sharing is going the way of the dodo bird at Delta as is the case with AA.... 10% is still quite sizable after all. This of course says nothing of the 401k enhancement of which hopefully everyone takes advantage of. How's that old saying about one in the hand being better than 2 in the bush?

Sounds like Delta gave the employees a voice. Yes I agree the weekly pay increase is better than a profit sharing check. But in this case they received a 14% increase in pay and a reasonable reduction in Profit Sharing. Profit Sharing remains, a substantial increase in pay and a improvement in the 401K match. Who can reasonably argue this point?

That would be the IAM howling monkeys who are in full blown meltdown over this.

Would you mind sharing the details of your "employment contract" with your current employer?

I'm considering a transition but I would need to know what the employers "legally binding" terms would be to protect my livelihood.

Wouldn't want to risk being left out in the cold by some overzealous individual who is against my naturally outspoken nature.

DL's "Terms of Employment"
 
#1 Show Up on Time for work.
#2 Work as a team.
#3 No sleeping on the clock.
 
And in exchange for close to $60,000 a year.

Not to mention the loss of millions of dollars going into the Scam IAMPF.

And in exchange please don't vote in that nasty Union that's nipping at our heels so we can continue to weed you out through attrition or other means.

Future or now in ACS (Fleet) 25% FT 25% PT 50% Ready Reserve.

I wonder what the crystal ball will show on that one in 10 to 15 years?

I'll have to admit, not one former DL mechanic I've talked to at WN would mind going back.
