Fellow Delta Pilots,



Earlier today, we completed the membership ratification process. Voting closed at 2pm EDT and ALPA’s Election Ballot and Certification Board confirmed and certified the outcome of the tentative agreement vote. The voting results are as follows:



97%, or 10,713, of eligible pilots voted.



35%, or 3766 voted in favor of the tentative agreement.



65%, or 6947 voted against the tentative agreement.



As a result of this outcome, I have called for a special meeting of the Delta MEC on July 21. At that meeting we will determine our next step, and reassess our strategic plan. As we formulate our path, we will continue to communicate with you, the line pilot.



Your participation in this process has been, and will continue to be, central to the ideals of the member-driven union that is the hallmark of ALPA. I urge you to remain engaged.



The process of membership ratification and the difficult decisions involved are never easy. Emotions often run high regardless of your perspective. In the end, however, we must strive to respect the differing opinions and seek the common ground we all share as pilots. The majority has spoken, and we must move forward together.



In Unity,



Captain Mike Donatelli

Delta MEC Chairman

 

Wow....has anyone run in to the room yelling P E B?

 

I am proud of my South brothers & sisters!!! Money is money, but we never would have got those work rules back!!! Way to go guys!!!

 

This is a proud day. Labor risk is back on the table.

Gotta keep the momentum going!

Recalls recalls recalls.

 

TIME TO REPLACE ALL TONE-DEAF DALPA MEC MEMBERS WHO ATTEMPTED TO PUSH THROUGH THIS ABOMINATION. It is hilarious how so many of these people are aspiring ALPA leader wannabes like Lee CHOKE. Time to return to full-time flying....

 

Incredible. This is a mandate if there ever was one given the history of this pilot group. It speaks volumes to just how out of touch the unionoids are from the masses.

Now we enter uncharted waters. Some major house cleaning needs to be done, particularly in the NC and Strategic planning areas.

 

Yeah!!!! The Delta pilots have spoken. Time to clean out ALPA of the Yes voters and move on. I was starting to lose hope as the job I worked hard to get was being slowly flushed down the drain. MEC Admins need to go as well. Hopefully the No efforts can now be directed to fix our Union. Who is in charge of that effort?

 

Thanks for posting. 2/3 vote no, a very clear message that we are tired of being taken for granted.

 

I really don't see how we can continue with the crowd that insisted we would be doomed if we voted no.

I agree - hard to imagine that our Reps could be so out of touch with the Pilot group.

I did not want to start a recall drive until the voting was over but now we really do recall the yes voters. At a minimum that will slow things down - the last thing we need to do is rush anything now.

SO when does the PEB commence?

Great job Delta Pilots not buying into the fear tactics!
