If this TA passes, standbye. A electronic signup sheet to join the suit could be circulated in every flight deck, layover, message board, etc in short order. I'm sure the publicity of a multi-year lawsuit between Delta and it's pilots will help the stock out.

Much more to it than this but here are a few words from our sponsor...

"The HIPAA Privacy Rule establishes national standards to protect individuals’ medical records and other personal health information and applies to health plans, health care clearinghouses, and those health care providers that conduct certain health care transactions electronically. The Rule requires appropriate safeguards to protect the privacy of personal health information, and sets limits and conditions on the uses and disclosures that may be made of such information without patient authorization. The Rule also gives patients rights over their health information, including rights to examine and obtain a copy of their health records, and to request corrections."

Don't surrender your rights. Especially as an airline pilot who deserves to have information, sensitive in nature, secure at all times.
