Congratulations for the big check that's already posted on Deltanet!

Looks like it comes with restrictions on what we can wear: see "Lanyard Policy" on the main page. It's no BS, FAA-approved and everything (at least I believe each FOM revision is implicitly FAA-approved). As much as I'd like to post it verbatim, I will refrain since I'm sure it would be a violation of some other policy.

Highlights:

Lanyards: restricted to certain colors and materials. Words can only refer to Delta, our airplane makers, ALPA or a U.S. military entity. No pins/tacks on lanyard.

Badges: nothing aside from Delta ID and airport access badge together. No stickers or pins.

In other words, no DPA or orange stuff or messages generated in support of our contract goals, unless issued by ALPA and other wise compliant.

Really? So, is this just another message to set the tone for negotiations?

We all have several thousand reasons to be upbeat today. Enjoy your P.S. and let receipt of it reaffirm your commitment to holding a hard line.

 

What a chicken**** decision.

 

No known crewmember id? And that little Celsius to Fahrenheit card?









































and some of those cards I get handed while walking down the Las Vegas strip?

 

Great. I have to stop wearing my 14 Disney pins.

No pins, ehh? Guess I'll have to take my ALPA pin off my lanyard.

 

Looks like orange bag tags will be all the fashion. I also hear we're getting some new ALPA swag that could possibly match the tags, we'll see if it happens.

I also include kelvin temperature in my PA's. Scientific lives matter!

Do we really need a policy on lanyards?? What if I wear my hat on the hotel van???

 

You get mentioned with an "Attaboy!" in the next Flt Ops weekly missive.

 

Me too, with a shout-out to the scientists and engineers.

 

I normally don't praise DALPA, but their response with the new orange lanyards is spot on. If you haven't seen them you can find them at the DALPA website or Facebook page.
