I see you don’t know how this works or how this saves them money. It’s not about pay. Seems everyone has forgot what Delta did to their non-union work groups day 1 of COVID.

So which is it? Smile and on time do NOT return profits, or they do return profits?

What I’m saying is it’ll take a lot more than that. With others being able to flawlessly be on time and give good service

Lapel pins appear not to help. If I wear my lapel pin on my uniform, but smile while doing so does it then cancel out to even?

For every Israel sympathizer that gets pulled off a JetBlue flight, there are a thousand pro-Palestinian customers clamoring to take his seat. That's how we will win the culture wars.

Didnt say anything about a lapel pin but I’m sure you’ll jump on wearing your favorite value.

I didn’t say you did. I just thought it curious that we heard about smiles yesterday and today an article comes out about an incident with pins involved. We’re trying to make money here folks. Express yourself on your own time as I’ve done here.

So Delta gets a revenue premium because they have some non-union work groups? Um, ok.

was talking about how they can turn a profit. They can change work rules pay protections you name it with the stroke of pen. that is how they turn a profit when Union shops can’t.

wrong. Delta turns a huge profit because they codeshare a significant portion of their wide body flying and get a share of that revenue.
