Delta Simulator Technicians to Remain Union-Free
Simulator Technicians reject IAM representation for the second time this year
ATLANTA, Sept 16, 2010 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Delta Air Lines /quotes/comstock/13*!dal/quotes/nls/dal (DAL 11.58, +0.08, +0.70%) today received notification from the National Mediation Board (NMB) that a majority of simulator technicians have again rejected representation by the International Association of Machinists (IAM).
In a memo issued today to Delta's simulator technicians, Senior Vice President of Flight Operations Steve Dickson responded to the technicians' decision:
"Today the National Mediation Board (NMB) reported a majority of Delta's simulator technicians have rejected IAM representation. We are pleased our combined simulator technician workgroup has once again chosen a direct relationship with Delta leaders. This relationship is one of the most important aspects of our unique culture.
The NMB procedures provide seven business days - until September 27 - for a participant to contest an election. We will be communicating next steps as soon as this period expires. We hope all concerned are prepared to move on and respect the decision of our simulator technicians.
Thank you for your trust and your continued focus and professionalism during both elections.
As we move forward together as a unified team, we will continue to make Delta a great place to work."
There were 91 flight simulator technicians eligible to vote in this election. Of those, 18 voted for IAM representation, with 23 other write-in votes.

To be somewhat "on topic," as far as AE vs. APA... I believe the APA would be more advantageous for the company. Especially since they are so twitchy with sharpshooting future flying. Just seems to make more sense.
The end result is basically the same, though.

To me national is kind of like having your local specialized whatever union representing both the unionized members and the non-unionized members and the illegals hired to do the same job. Until it has a sole purpose of safety of all airlines and the other interests of the mainline and regional pilots is split then I don't think either is getting what they deserve.
