Couple that with the fact that they can potentially sink an airline due to work stoppages, strikes, etc etc, makes me worried. I worked my a$$ off to get hired by my dream airline which is Delta....I sure as hell dont want an FA bringing my company down.
I understand your angst on the issue, but statistically speaking, you are worried about the wrong group. Management, through either greed, stupidity, arrogance, incompetence, ego, inability to adapt, and just plain old incompetence has brought down far more once high flying airlines than flight attendants.
Scoop - Still keeping my fingers crossed on this management team.
PS - And if the flight attendants were to bring down DAL it would only be possible via management incompetence.
