Theyre final but I think you can send information to the contract/survey email address.

I do the same thing. Most pilots I know are doing this. With the abundance of healthier places to eat in an airport, I'll happily spend the money to get a good salad or chicken entree. Hell, I'll even eat airport salmon in DTW. Don't want the airplane pasta. The chicken curry dish is good though.

You would think the flight attendants would be more appreciative of the crew meals we negotiated for them? Same with profit sharing. Positive space commuting? I’m sure there’s other things.

You'd think. I've always found it funny and ironic that the opposite is actually true. Most of them are actively ticked at us for "taking so much of the PS". Never, ever fail to correct them on the history, to include when the company lowered thier formula in anticipation of C15 TA1 passing, then had to reinstate their old/our current formula a year an a half later. "Your welcome"

This is by design and comes from the steady stream of anti-union, anti-pilot Kool Aid that management feeds them. At other airlines, labor groups blame management for their woes, not each other. Delta management has expertly crafted a culture that pins blame on pilots and/or unionism rather than the true culprit.

Just here to say the contract survey is well done - take the time and do it if you haven’t already.

Additionally, there are many Delta pilots who don't support other labor groups unionizing.

I really wish the other groups would organize. I’m tired of hearing the company say we can’t give you that because we would have to give to everyone else. Let them negotiate their own work rules/benefits.
