Polling Data
DALPA shared the most recent polling data:
ALV Reductions
The most salient questions in the poll centered on management's desire to lower the ALV by up to 15% in exchange for a year of furlough protection. We asked if pilots found that acceptable. Only 10% of the respondents did. And for the finale, we needed to know which is more important to you, protecting all sections of the PWA or granting temporary relief preventing involuntary furloughs. Pilots indicated by more than two to one that protecting all sections of the PWA is more important, confirming the direct feedback you have been providing your LEC representatives and the MEC.
The Delta MEC relies on the support and direction of our brother and sisters. We are unequivocally committed to delivering your message to management: We are a union – we speak as one – and we will not negotiate any involuntary contractual relief. That will be our final word if management insists on seeking a zero-sum outcome. If management instead chooses to pursue solutions that are a win/win and benefit all parties, shareholders and employees alike, much like Spirit Airlines recently did, we are prepared to engage with them.
Those are the facts, and as always, we stand firmly on them. Thank you to those that took the time to complete the polling when you received the call. We stand shoulder-to- shoulder in unity, as we support all our pilots and protect the contract we have earned.
