This is a paragraph from the Delta MEC's Vectors Email:

-----------------------

Congress Returns to “Work”: All Delta pilots are asked to contact their congressional delegation concerning the four current grassroots Call-to-Action issues: The Safe Skies Act of 2013; Stop the Creation of a New CBP Preclearance Site in Abu Dhabi; H.R. 1775 - the Saracini Aviation Safety Act of 2013; and to oppose elimination of funding for the FFDO program.

-----------------------

Was it really wise to put quotation marks around the word "Work"? We are actively lobbying the Congress on issues vital to our careers. And now this email from the Delta pilots' representatives takes a rather cheap shot at the very group we're lobbying.

This email needs to retracted or edited right away. Regardless of whether you're DPA or ALPA, this kind of thing hurts us all.
