They have every right to file an interference claim. In choosing to do so, they have chosen to screw their constituents out of some sweet cash because they can't handle that THEY LOST.

Perhaps the company should violate the terms of the contract, kept current by these lame interference claims, and give the IAM and AFA folks more money. Now that would be interference.

The NWA flight attendants have a contract! Should Delta have also given them the 15 percent raise needed to bring them up to the Delta FA's pay rates? Should they have given them the best of the work rules? Should the Delta flight attendants get some of the good deals the NW flight attendants get in their contract? Which items are you going to pick and choose from and who makes the decision?
Delta offered to pay the NW flight attendants full profit sharing under the Delta work rules even though legally all they had to do was pay what was contracted for by the flight attendants for 2010. They also could have had a 15 percent raise 1 Dec. The NW flight attendants through their AFA reps declined that offer. What more can Delta do and should have done?
They are holding up a large part of the integration of the airlines and costing Delta a lot of money. Delta made a very generous offer. The AFA declined it as is there right and decided to continue with their negotiated contract.
AFA has refused every effort to get them to move forward with the merger. Their seniority list integration should long ago have been complete so that once the union issue was decided they could quickly integrate the work groups. They have refused to even meet to discuss the issue. This is bad for both sides. If the election is upheld then the NW flight attendants now have to complete the seniority integration without AFA and foot the legal fees themselves unless AFA offers to step forward and still pay for it. Delta has made many offers to try and get the processes moving. AFA has refused to do a single thing until the union issue is complete.

AFA did it to their own because they're mad they lost. Not great representation IMO.

Anyone having Delta Web Email issues. Last week the helpdesk reset my password and I was able to create a new password on my initial log in. When I now log in it goes right into a HTTP500 error and wont load the web page. I had this error from 2 different home computers AND a company computer as well.

We have a Delta email account?!!! :eek:

:D :p

Thanks. I finally found it under the "Settings" tab.

Quick unrelated question from a longtime lurker. How do I find out what my date of conversion is? I took a free move from a mandatory displacement, and based on my understanding of the PWA sect. 6, I have to wait until 24 months after conversion to place an AE bid or I must repay the move costs. It's not really an issue with the latest AE, but I think I could be free to bid by the next one in the 2nd qtr. Thanks in advance!

Look in the Settings tab of the web interface.

It's 24 months from when you take the move not from when you convert. IE, you converted in June but did not take the move till September, 24 mos starts in Sept. You are welcome to bid an AE that keeps you in base but changes AC. If you bid out of the base you free moved to then the 24 months have to expire before you are converted to a new base. The relocation services group who helped you with the move are good people to discuss your questions with. Hope this helps.

Almost forgot, if you go icrew-bids-AE you'll see your conversion date.

I think it's more about self-preservation in their eyes.
