Our CEO should:

1. Promptly apologize to the employee group for putting Delta in such a WEAK position, both financially and in a public relations sense.
2. Return the money, he and the BOD, took as "Stock Award Value", "Option Award Value", bonuses and non-equity incentive comp for every year since RA left. That's a billion dollars right there.
3. Resign. The employee group no longer has confidence or trust in a leader who bragged publicly of our LOW DEBT load but privately was using 49% of DAL's free cash flow on stock buybacks.

 

Yeah...good luck with that!!....
Haven’t you heard?? It’s all the fault of those greedy pilots!!!

Plus... he’s waiting for his monogrammed golden parachute to be properly fitted....

 

I know right? To read EB letter he's alluding that the rest of the company is now waiting for the GREEDY pilot's response on Friday. In other words, EVERYONE else is hurting, taking unpaid leaves and the greedy pilots aren't and have done NOTHING to help the company.

 

Do we have any data on how many pilots took leaves? If it’s not available, it would be nice for ALPA to get that together.

 

This. We have lead the other airlines in profit for the last 10 years, but are among the worst financially to survive this. Makes me laugh that chief pilots were saying I'd hate to be at American or United right now. Joke is on us. Clearly no one had been paying attention to what a poor job our leaders have been doing with our industry leading profits. Actually our pilots were screaming that the company was burning cash. Just no one listened. Our airline has been poorly run at the top. It is obvious now that things have gone south. They put their own financial gain ahead of the health of the airline. That's not what solid leaders do.

I still stand by my prediction that we furlough the bottom 2500 and drop below 11,000 before we start recalling. We probably don't see a new contract for 5-10 years. If you're 55 or older, you probably retire before seeing a new contract. The cash grab ALPA was trying to push for obviously isn't happening.

 

My predictions:

• Bottom 1800 furloughed - recalls will depend on demand (as always).
• No new contract in 3-6 years - definitely no cash grab. Low % increases to pay. Minor QOL improvements. Maybe get some of the FRB stuff in it from LOA 20-01.
• We'll have a new management team to conduct the contract negotiations with so all bets could be off/

 

I wonder how many people complaining in this thread and throughout the company voted Red.

 

I wonder why you had to bring up politics at this moment. Not the time right now. Got bigger fish to fry.

 

Mr. Munoz needs to bump those numbers up, those are rookie numbers. I don't know how to put a meme in or that would be mathew M saying that.

 

What does politics have to do with it?
