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

I understand your point, but isn't that discriminatory? What about male FA's? Or female pilots? Do male FA's need it, or do female pilots NOT need it?

Just heard that the NMB just stated that Delta did not interfere with the flight attendant union elections, maybe paving the way for integration of North and South Flight attendants. Stay tuned!

If so, why do we carry them all over New York on "our" van? How many things to they "me too" on with the pilots.

Seems like ALPA and the CPO could agree nearly instantly that's a stupid rule and change it.

Good luck with that.....

I don't like it but that's the reality.

That whole van deal is one touchy subject. I agree the pilots should get it too, but I was told the reason the FA"s get it is for their safety.

Pilots can be mugged/harassed on public transportation too. I'm not intimately familiar with the NYC issues, but if true, this is a flimsy excuse. Is one employee group (or gender majority) more valuable than another?

Can't we all just get along?

Which begs the question...

But I really think it is to help the FA s who are working for peanuts in an expensive city to get to work in a timely manner. We pilots can afford helicopters, therefore no need.

Also heard from a couple of folks in hdqr that NLRB ruled in favor of Delta over AFA.
