then say that instead of just general statements that require posters to deduce what you're trying to say? you could've just said that from the beginning.

The real number is 765.2. I have no idea but does it matter? NO!

ALPA and my LEC did more for me than Delta ever did when I lost my child a couple years back… at least Ed sent flowers and an e-signed card.

I'm truly sorry for your loss brother. I can't fathom it, or even understand the thought of losing a child. It would devastate me I can be honest about that.

The last thing you and the family need is your boss sending you some sort of "disciplinary" letter.

This behavior exhibited is borderline psychopathic. I hope that someone up the food chain pulled some people aside and put some boot to az over this. Simply shocking behavior from these people.

I feel really bad for the pilot that got that letter… to lose a parent and child inside a year and then get this from your employer? It makes the unfathomable that much more insane.

Was it a real physical letter to your home or an email?

They were physical letters with a signature sent to pilots’ homes.

Agreed

Forbes ranked Delta as #2 out of 900 of top places to work. I think it's time we show the world what's really going on here.
