Delta Dispatch Contract

Considering our contract has a Delta "me-too" clause, this is particularly important for us as well. Anyone from DL can you message me some of the info, pay rates ...etc...

Would be greatly appreciated to see what we may or may not expect. Thanks
 
FedEx is up for pay review this year, and we are awaiting your deets...and waiting in info from you too UPS.
 
I have heard that it is not an extremely impressive offer - however I will defer to those who actually work there to provide details of the numbers, if they want to share them here.
 
I heard that there is not really any money in it because the company wanted them to go to 8 hour days. So they had to trade any increase to keep the 9/10/12 hour day.

Can anyone confirm?

That is what I heard as well. There is a pay increase but nothing approaching what Southwest makes. I heard it was sent to the membership without a recommendation either way on whether to vote for it. However I don't work there so if I am not speaking accurately, feel free to correct me.

I would imagine if SWA is sill going to trump the pay scales for the next 4 years, then they would vote this down, and negotiate more $$$

PAFCA did recommend it, but I'm not sure if it will pass. Yes it's a raise, but not what I would call a huge win during consecutive years of record-smashing profit.

Not a huge win, but better than a prolonged dragged out process. The company has no incentive to get anything done: things are good now, the operation is fine, and most of the competent dispatchers are using a lot less fuel. Might as well just work under the same ol' contract.

If it goes down, more money will come our way - at the expense of 9 and 10 hour shifts. All those extra days of work will do wonders for the commuters. I am just shocked there are so many newbies against it. We even have a few that had to practice the test a few times, then got in and now they don't think it's enough? Ha...they should just be glad to be here. Same with the new guys off the street: mad about pay, yet they are making more in year 1 than they did in year 8 at whatever place they came from? Give me a break.

Well, if my company was fantastically profitable and wanting to only give me a 2% raise per year - less than the rate of inflation, and less than counterparts at a smaller, almost completely domestic airline currently make - I wouldn't be happy with the offer. Dispatch is an extremely small percentage of any airline's overall costs - and DL could certainly afford to match what SWA pays their guys and then some, even without going to all 8 hour shifts. I personally wouldn't vote for the offer whether I was a newbie or seasoned veteran. However as I don't work there - it's a moot point.
