Ok, knew about the pay but somehow didn't realize that's what it was called, thank you.

Were you trying to make assumptions about my political leanings by making condescending comments? Pretty classless but whatever helps your defense of the company.

How did you get political leanings from Fireworks and Hamilton? Lol.

I'm jealous you got to watch it in person. Very nice.

First off thank you for serving, I have lots of close relatives that served as well as some that were lost.
It is repugnant to me that we make a point of acknowledging everything except a very American holiday. This is one
of the few things that should bring us all together.
Yes underrepresented groups need tolerance, respect and acceptance.

But to claim inclusion then ignore Memorial Day (the literal reason for freedom) or Independence Day seems tone deaf.

Just my opinion

It was a good run.

As a 717 guy, I’ve never had a designated meal. Probably 3 times in my entire time at Delta I’ve been offered extra meals by the FAs.

So how is this crew meals thing actually going to work domestically? I guess all it means to the company is 2 extra meals will be catered. And probably not the most popular choices. Hope you like impossible burgers and shrimp salads or grilled vegetables and burrata cheese. The passengers and non revs will still get first pick, then the FAs eat their pick of the leftovers. Maybe they have 2 meals "since there's so many left over" or mix and match from the trays. Then an hour from landing, if we call them and beg, they'll offer us some leftover leftovers. Or maybe they say nothing was left. I hate to be negative about this, but most of that is currently how it goes with most of the FAs.

It would be nice if we had a policy like United and could pick our meal ahead of time with our name on it. But of course, we'll get 'em next time on that. I bet we get a lot of $10 excuses too.

Some guidance from the union or the company would help. Maybe a memo to the FAs too. This takes effect in a month.
