Today, voting closed on a historic strike authorization ballot– the first one conducted by the Delta pilots since 2006 – with an outstanding 96% participation and 99% of us voting in favor of strike authorization.

Wow, I was getting worried, as I received three auto-dial calls from ALPA in the past week (including this morning), encouraging me to vote. Thought that was an indicator of poor participation as the deadline loomed. This is really good news, and a powerful sledge to swing!

Funny story. The FO I just flew with had been rerouted on a previous trip. As part of the reroute the FO flew with an ATL captain. Said captain told the FO to put the hat on. The FO put the hat on. The captain said if the FO hadn’t had the hat he would have had him removed from the flight. When the FO returned to base he shared the story with the union rep. They were not surprised by the name of the ATL captain. My bet is he’s a “no” vote.

ALPA should be running Ads with the 99% vote and picketing. Strongly suggesting customers book other airlines this holiday season in case we are released.

Maybe give our c-suite a 24-hour courtesy "heads-up". I agree with you...the union has yet to get devious and/or creative.
