I urge anyone with access to FB to read the letter posted. It says these pilots attendance records are "being formally reviewed." Wtf is that? Is this a process with union involvement? Are they gonna go digging checking non rev, kcm, cass, and social media records? What is going on? This is worse than I ever saw even at the regionals. We're the ONLY major airline who treats pilots like this.

Or they’re making people decline their CJO’s and go to Un-tied. They already made a bunch of poolees wait a year while we self celebrated, not sure why they were shocked that people wouldn’t put their careers on hold for the big D. “You’re ready when Delta is!”

Not in the least bit surprising. It is highly entertaining, though.

Someone posted their copy on the scheduling FB page. Basically a bunch of corporate fluff about Delta people, how reliability affects our customers, then they drop in the threat that continued use of the absence program that does not align with the PWA or Delta policies may lead to further actuon, including discipline.
This smells like some lower level Smurf in flt ops got a little too far over their skies ( I'm hoping this is the case and that it didn't come from a SVP).

I legitimately don't know what brand my pants are.. they're the ones Delta sent me. So I would definitely have to remove them to look at the tag.

Pilot morale is hard to put in a spreadsheet or quantify but it absolutely affects the operation big time. This is infuriating but it’s also just so so shortsighted.
Hopefully see some comms from ALPA on this soon.

Guarantee most of those 1000 pilots are never handing out trading cards again. Or saying goodbye to pax or HVC cards or doing the countless little optional things that pilots with good morale can do to help the op.
