Points:
- Management doesn't listen and is wasting $250 million on a flop of a retention program
- DALPA disapproves of the above expenditure
- Attrition is actually accelerating since implementation of "retention" program
- Attrition exceeds the company's goal
- The seniority list is shrinking
- Schedules and QOL are deteriorating, same as our mainline overlords
- Management is doing nothing meaningful to address this
- JG said big D is ok with us shrinking, a strong indication they will do nothing to help attrition

Not much to discuss. If for some reason you don’t yet - get your apps out and go anywhere the paint job matches the paycheck.

well for starters , the retention was 40 grand less than AA WO’s and many were metered and losing seniority. Now the Higher pay rates and check airman pay rates at AA WO’s are putting an ass whoppin on everything . It’s a no brainer why it hasn’t worked . Hopefully they can come up with an industry leading solution . At this point I don’t think strictly seniority or money will work. I think it will have to be a combination of the two . Higher rates or additional money/ seniority.
And why on earth would DALPA agree to anything like that before they have a new contract?

So they can get money that would have been spent at Endeavor to be instead be put into their new contract. Without DALPA's agreement the only thing Delta can do is throw more money at us.
