PRESS RELEASE
DALPA would like to take this opportunity to congratulate everyone at Delta Air Lines on the outstanding job they have done to make this day possible. Today Delta announced a $6 BILLION dollar return to the shareholders by the end of 2017 and a 50% increase in the stock dividend.
DALPA would like to remind everyone that this day wouldn't be possible without the sacrifice of the Delta pilot and their families. The consummate professional, the Delta pilot is working under pay rates that are still 18% under their pay rates of 2004. The Delta pilot contributed to this day by the continuing sacrifice of their pensions, work rules and pay rates for the last 10 years. It's time to return capital to the Delta pilot.
It's not that difficult. I didn't attend communications school, but I do have a laptop.
See how simple that would be? And how effective?
Problem is, nearly everyone in the MEC administration would wince at this level of goonish confrontation. They would absolutely see a statement like this as damaging our fantastic constructive engagement relationship with our management partners. Plus, you can't make statements like this against the group that owns you.
