We value your safety. Apparently, Delta executives do not. Let them know you stand with us.
Paid for by the Air Line Pilots Association"
OK, negotiating in the media can be good. DAL can do that as well and I usually don't like it. IF we stated that DAL was trying to "intimidate us to fly when sick…. or fatigued" (incidentally I've called flights for both reasons and never even got a phone call) they would sue DALPA in a split instant for slander. And we would lose. OFG
