That's just it, it IS Delta's problem when 9E costs and staffing are affected, whether you think it should be or not. We can go back and forth on merits and what planning people ought to do (especially retirees that are free to plan and travel 24/7.....). The simple fact is a WO employee is making Delta money now, while a retiree is not.
Scope is protected by the pilot contract. Nobody else has a union except pilots and dispatchers. I haven’t voted in any DAL contract, since I got hired after the last one was voted.
Again, is not Delta problem your family issues. You got hired with certain benefits and responsibilities, they changed it, I’m ok with it. What I’m not ok with, is that every 9E family member goes above Delta retirees and parents.
