I went NQ Last week of June, had it on my schedule over my last few reserve days. Went to CQ last weekend. Didn’t lose any pay for the NQ days that made me not be available on reserve. Somethings not right.

File Unemployment against it and contact your congressional rep and both of your senators. I don't think they'd look favorably toward Delta for having taken taxpayer money to cover salaries until 9/30 then refusing to pay people.

That's good advice right there. And for anyone on UNA as well.

The Reps I know are watching how the companies who took the money are using it. What they do if they think they find abuse is unknown. Maybe cut the spigot off forever later on? Don't know, and they won't say.

For the people who still don’t think the company will furlough a minimum of 2,558 pilots, all you have to do is read this thread. Already many people have piped in they are going NQ, which means they haven’t flown in 3-4 months. No doubt that will be corrected come Oct 1.

Going directly to the federal government with all your trivial problems in not the way to get things done. I’m not saying that the company is right but there are channels to go through and you also have to give it a little time. The issue getting resolved before payday is acceptable.

When did everybody’s first reaction become “write your congressman?” If you keep your problems local, you keep your government local. Most importantly, this shouldn’t even involve the government. There comes a time but this hasn’t even gotten in the car to go down that road.

I’m also nearing my NQ status. I’ve submitted my available days for the last two months. Is there anything else I am required to do to maintain pay in the case of NQ?

For example, am I required to yellow slip or buy a trip for decency?

thx

How is a congressman not local? Or does that not support your narrative?

The federal government made the grant and the congressman is the local representative to the federal government. Why wouldn't that be the course of action to take? And if not them, who, the local alderman or elevate it to the mayor?

OP has already contacted ALPA and his CPO. Yes. Give it a minute to resolve...But I'd not wait much more than a minute.

Delta has played loose with the CARES money from the beginning. They held their hand out for taxpayer money to cover payroll, then encouraged 30k employees to "save the company" and go ask the taxpayer, again, for money to cover their payroll. Disingenuous as hell. Especially given the fact that many of those that used UI will now not have any/much left when they really need it come 10/1.

The dam is about to bust with NQ/NQAT/RECY or #whateverthe****theywanna call it. I suspect Delta will need to be reminded where that money came from....until 9/30 anyway.

Besides, how many click and send campaigns has Ed asked you/us to participate in the past 5 years? How is that for keeping it local? I mean, #silenceisviolence, right?

well, if major corporations didn't continuously try to screw their people, their government wouldn't have to be involved. sounds like you're a pro-business guy who thinks that the right of the corporation is greater than the right of the citizen
