Finally, the bright lime green was very, very visible. Everywhere. It took a couple weeks, but the sea of green, especially in the summer/jacket-free months was a constant reminder to the internal audience to stay unified. It WORKED. Bag tags too. There were even a decent number of guys who bought lime green watch bands, zipper pulls, etc from Amazon. Lime Green was everywhere. And everyone noticed. The brighter/contrast-ier the better (which was also a FOM violation, lol)
When you walk into the lounge, and nearly every single pilot is wearing lime green, and the line of luggage works bags all have a lime green bag tag on them, you know the group is standing together.

The Delta Pilot Group showed all of ALPA
how to get the contract we deserve. Yet a bunch of you refuse to learn from and model the “how”. One of the hows is a visible symbol of unity from lanyards and bag tags. The company is always going to aim for 50.1% vote. That gives the company the win. Don’t be part of the group that settles for less than we could get otherwise. And wearing a lanyard is just so ridiculously easy that I can’t believe anyone would resist doing it!
