I don’t get why people look back on RA’s and SD’s tenures with admiration. They were not pilot advocates and made a lot of poor decisions. RA’ backround was as Lorenzo’s union-busting attorney ffs. Each had a big boo-boo on their way out. RA with TA1.
and SD being complicit in/condoning retaliating against a whistleblower (which also eventually cost him his job leading the FAA). Oh, and he hired Jim Graham, a total POS, who in turn accelerated the cascade of worsening management in flight ops. Every current bad actor in flight ops is a part of the Graham hiring tree. He would have loved these letters. Enough said.

please enlighten us as to how X number of Delta pilots are fraudulently using their contractually allowed sick time? lets hear your definition of "abusing" this provision and how that standard applies to 800, 1000, 2000, of whatever the number actually is.

SD ran a solid operation, you can't argue about that. Look at where we are at now. Overall, for our company, Grinstein, RA and SD did good for us.

They're not flexible, you're looking at the wrong part. They're not for day 1 of indoc, they're for when you 44X. Nobody is under 23 operating a physical DL jet with less than 1500 hours. The only place you will run into anyone under 23 or under 1500 is in an initial qual sim.
We also hire FAs under 21 who legally can't sell alcohol in flight on day 1 of training. As long as they're 21 (meet the min requirements) by graduation day, they're good.

Otherwise, I hope you aren't talking about the pilot that had cancer or the other pilot that lost a parent and a child? Or if you think those pilots were using too much sick time then how about the pilot that hadn't called in sick in 14 months that got a letter?
Edit, this applies to everyone that doesn't think these letters were warranted:
Call your reps and ask for more details on this, I think you'll be even more blown away by what you hear.

Say what now? I sure hope I and most other posters here are misinterpreting this post.

Perhaps Delta’s blatant violation of multiple state family care laws that prohibit retaliation for utilizing said laws?
The clowns running flight ops have no shame, no clue, and no humanity. They might as well be AI bots trained to hate and harass pilots while dropping the ball on actually running the operation.
