Once Again, Proof of the Value of a Voice and a Vote
 
Only because Delta pilots have a union did Delta Corporate agree to enhance pilot's job security by retaining Delta's international flights and not outsourcing trips to partner Virgin Atlantic Airways. The deal also assures Delta's international operations will remain larger than Virgin's and guarantees Delta Pilots fly trips to London rather than allow Virgin pilots to fly them.
 
Omitted from this agreement is any such protections or guarantees for us, Delta Flight Attendants. Because our group is not protected by a legally enforceable contract, our flying is not protected. While Delta may make any promise to us now, any of our current flying could be outsourced at any time in the future for any reason.
 

We will soon have the opportunity to vote and form a union of our own and negotiate protections just as the Delta pilots have. It's obvious that the Delta pilots viewed outsourcing as a real threat to their job security and because they have a legal Voice they collectively addressed that threat. There is no better proof that having a voice will protect us AND that Delta respects its workers who form a union.
 
It's about time we develop a mature, direct relationship with Delta, rooted in respect and equality. That would make Delta a better airline for all.

So is this page now an extension of WCDFA and Blue Notes? Seems most of the content 700 posts is from there and follow up questions are always referred back to those sites.

sorry but an employee's wife is not summoned to ATL to discussion an employee's termination.

They simply are not.

when clearly factual information like that is not correct, it is hard to believe other things that are said.

were you there?

You left almost nine years ago and there is more information from him on the thread.

Just wondering...why didn't you publish the name of that FA that wrote that post?By the way the time frame of that reserve story was 1993. Also Joanne Smith is no longer in charge of inflight ... Timely info would be good

The same could be said of you. What's your point?

700 is telling WT he doesn't know what he is talking about.  WT worked for DL and seems to still have vast contacts and be in synch with what is happening at his 20+ year employer.

Maybe in this case he doesn't.

I don't need to have contacts to know that DL and no other company will invite and pay for a spouse to come for an all expense paid visit to ATL to talk about an employee's termination.

It simply does not happen that way.

That was labor then. What would they say about the Buffenbargers of today who readily encourage and facilitate workers giving up pensions (regarded as "sacred" by Buffy only four years earlier) when a company is posting record profits?
