Flight Attendants sue Delta over pay formula
Delta Air Lines, Inc. Unpaid Wage Lawsuit | NKA
Apparently JetBlue flight attendants are doing this and now Delta flight attendants are following suit. Not sure if this is localized to California only or not.
I have to believe this has been tried before (and lost) but I don't know. But consider the ramifications?? Paid by the duty hour, a regional pilots dream.

They may get to change the method that they're paid but their W2s will stay the same. That's how much the airline thinks you're worth, and they don't care how you get to that number. Paid for 3x the duty hours but it's going to be at 1/3 the rate you get now.
The only benefits I see of this are a one time retroactive pay or a situation where pay per duty hour is less than minimum wage.

Apparently the IAM is withdrawing it's application for a union vote for the Delta flight attendants. At least for now.
Something about "insufficient information" and "questionable signatures".
Must have been some pretty obvious fraud considering the current makeup of the NMB. The IAM wouldn't walk away from 20,000+ dues paying FA's without a fight if they had a decent case.
Interesting.

Interesting that the IAM doesn't take any ownership of the improper cards. I'm no expert, but isn't that fraud?
And when you consider motive, and opportunity...
As for representation, it's up to the FA's. As far as the door pay fight, I hope they succeed.
