Strike Vote

GS is in the contract. Crossing a picket line isn’t. Let’s keep our eye on the ball, and our fire outside the circle.

Probationary guys here on first year pay picking up flying isn’t the issue, they are in survival mode.
It’s the pilots who have been here for years and who KNOW better that’s the problem.
At this point wearing a hat and no lanyard says
”I SUPPORT DELTA MGT”

Decent email out from C44 this morning. Here’s the part I appreciated the most:
“Regarding compensation, we have repeatedly, and unequivocally, made two particular points since we took office:
“Regarding compensation, we have repeatedly, and unequivocally, made two particular points since we took office:
- It is non-negotiable that the Delta pilots will be made whole from inflation, and
- The Company cannot be financially incentivized to delay a contract beyond the amendable date.

The lackluster economy has nothing to do with the strike. My comment was aimed specifically at the 8 billion claim for 2023. I'm not living in fear, I am fully ready to strike and voted appropriately. I'll strike tomorrow, for 4 months or longer. I can go longer than the company. I can pay my house payment working at McDonalds. I don't have car payments. I'm ready. Are you?

The more they hold out the more we begin to act like our competitor’s pilots. No more going above and beyond with that Delta Difference. It’s also the FAs that are pulling up the reigns too. Not being fiscally acknowledged for what we do is going to get them in a world of hurt, and I don’t think Sleepy will stick around to see it.

(Cumulative Inflation was less than 7.88% until July 2021 and more than 7.88% after July 2021 for the duration that the contract has been amendable.)

Basically that’s percentage number of retro pay that we’d need over our lost earnings since the amendable date due to inflation.
