Well, considering pilots' pay and the hours they work each month, I'd say a reduction would be in order. </font>
it's clearly in order. the question is one of timing, and DALPA is holding all the cards at this point. The vampire contract runs into 2005, and DL has already lost at arbitration the right to lay off any more pilots.
So what's management's response to holding such a weak hand? Demand 33% wage cuts, as a start... AND after Chairman Leo took a 10 then 15% temporary cut?
They'll be lucky if laughter is all that greets such an offer. Spitting and trampling on it would be understandable.
