TA Episode 1: Global Scope

Engage: The Podcast for Delta Pilots

In the first episode of the new Tentative Agreement (TA) series from Engage, Host First Officer Ryan Argenta, discusses with the Negotiating Committee and the Scope Committee the details and inner workings of the Global Scope agreement. Brandon Conwill (Negotiating Committee), Nick Hoeffer (Scope Committee Chairman), and George Strehlow (Scope Committee Vice Chairman) explain how Global Scope, if voted in by the Delta pilots, will become a part of Section 1, Scope. Discussion includes 1:1 growth with our joint venture (JV) partners, how Delta's widebody international flying can increase significantly as a result of this agreement, how this agreement will increase the value of pilot seniority regardless of fleet or position, and how this agreement codifies remediation in terms of staffing in the case of a violation. Other insightful information on supersonic jet airliners, new one-off destinations from Delta, and how long-range narrowbodies like the A321XLR fit into our model. A wealth of information on this significant and important agreement that each Delta pilot will vote on in the coming weeks. (Recorded January 18, 2023)
