Council 44 Slot Swap Perspective

Prior to your C44 reps taking office, the corporation had already approached ALPA to ask for help and support for this transaction. After we assumed our elected positions, we were asked to intensify our efforts, as there appeared to be little progress being made in the corporation’s favor. Although we all want to work for a strong, profitable company, and no doubt the transaction would assist in that, we also wanted to know the impact this would have on Delta pilots directly. In other words, would this mean more flying for mainline pilots? The answer then was yes.
