If Delta “truly” believes that it takes a four year degree to safely transport their passengers then they should apply that to all of their flight segments.
In reality DL doesn’t care if you have a degree or not, they simply know they can use it against you to keep you on a lower pay scale.
Unity only happens if you are willing to unite with EVERYONE across the board. Ridiculing someone for not getting a four year degree and telling them they deserve C-scale wages as a result only perpetuates the management win.
I think that argument is more than ten yrs old and it was more than ten years old when i first heard it ten years ago and 20 years ago when he first heard it, it was not a new or novel concept.
What do you want from us? We cant change the industry and there is no solidarity. Welcome to the airlines.
