I do like how the company talks up the Delta family during indoc.
Then when you come back for training, you're on your own. Not even an offer to crash on the couch.
Get sick? You better get a doctor's note, unless you want the evil step-father to lash you with his belt for failing to do the dishes.
But we're so glad you're here. Welcome to the family!
Let me tell you how much Delta and CP's care about you and your family. I had a family emergency involving my 1yr old child three hours before the start of short call. The Doctor instructed me to call an ambulance and have my child taken to the closest childrens hospital. I Called the CP and he was so concerned and helpful that he removed me from short call without pay. Lost about 5hrs of pay and went to 69hrs for the month. Do you think if someone in management had a family emergency and couldn't go to work they would be docked a days pay? Hotels, why don't we start with treating people like human beings that have families. Turns out if you are based in LAX, SEA, or MSP state law requires them to use your sick leave to pay you. But if you are based in ATL Delta will be happy to save money on the back of your family emergency. I spoke with ALPA and they said contractually nothing can be done but the CP has the authority to make sure you are still paid. All of the Delta family crap is just that a bunch of propaganda. If the contract allows it they will do it.
