Airline Pilot Central Forums - Any "Latest & Greatest" about Delta?

Flew with some Delta North FAs last week. They were adamant about how awful they knew flying with Delta South FAs would be. Consensus was a union was an absolute necessity, and without it life was going to be hardly worth living. Suffice it to say, they had nothing good to say about Delta South FAs. They gave me the impression they were determined to be miserable (personally and to fly with) when they start flying with Delta South FAs.

According to the union, Delta (DAL:$14.355,0$0.5050,3.65%) flight attendants voted 9,544 against AFA representation, versus 8,778 in favor. Shares of Delta (DAL:$14.355,0$0.5050,3.65%) , which have been down a fraction most of the day, reversed direction and added 5 cents to $13.91.

I think it's more like 48-52.

There were approximately 450 write-in votes for other than AFA representation that increased the "for representation" total.

Wow...........guess I missed that one....no over under beer for me:D

I'm glad I'm off for a few days. I don't know which will be worse, the poor losers or the reaction of the losers to poor winners.

One way or the other, I hope the company has a plan for soothing the loosing side. Especially since it's this close.

Probably, but the fNWAs were more worried about work rules. Since I don't know what the fDAL have, you'll have to fill me in.

All I'm saying is work will be even less fun for a while. In the words of my old high school football coach......."the only worse than a poor loser is a poor winner". Guess we'll see how much class both sides have.

There is a plan, and a campaign of inclusion and unity:

"Together We Can Hate The Pilots More".
