Many of the people who work in that office are retired old guard Delta goons, who are buddies with the old guard goons who still run Flight Ops. The FAA will be our absolute last advocate.
The letters will still backfire on management in many other ways, however.
This. It's just documenting the act with a third party. This isn't even receipt required mail so I probably got one and never read it because it was stuck between the grocery store flyers and got tossed in the trash. It has no effect and is a nothing burger except so sew mistrust leading into section 6. Carry on, there's no value or weight to the letters any line pilot needs to consider.
