Would be nice if the news media picks up this honest and factual critical condemnation of the reality of working at Delta. Maybe the Huffington post?

Oh now i see your problem
 
you can't read. 
 
Anything inside a " (which is called a quote) then are followed by From a XXX based Delta Flight Attendant means a DL FA said it.
 
 
Put if you can prove that all of those quotes are lies, get on it. I'd love to see your proof.

Back at ya buttercup. Prove anything in the article is true.
 
The author of the article is a disgraced ex AA FA who was fired for his big mouth. (shocker) and now does inane parody youtube videos. lol
 
The poorly written article is largely a baseless opinion piece without any facts.
 
Has he interviewed any FA that by name? No
 
You can largely tell the article is nothing more then repetitious-baseless-pro-union talking points that are constantly recycled here.
 
We all know who that fool is and who he is on this forum as well.

Boy you are just like WT 
 
Ramble ramble ramble but at the end of the day you say nothing. 
 
Simple as this, you have a problem with it and say its lies then prove it. If not you are no better than the writer you are b**ching about. 
 
 
 
Oh and only a complete idiot, union or not, says things like that and gives a name. You will be gone from the company. Union or not. 
And before you say "oh NOOOO Delta wouldn't do that!" read the social media policy. Its almost as dumb as posting youtube videos in your uniform.

Welp, since the whole article is based on opinion and sources were never cited, its easy to surmise the entire piece is one big bag of poo.

Isn't it Time to Make Real Progress? How Profit Sharing Cut Will Pay for Raises
 
The recent cut in how our profit sharing pool is calculated is estimated to save Delta billions of dollars that would otherwise be shared by all Delta employees.
 
Here’s how:In 2015, the average annual salary of a Delta Flight Attendant was approximately $50,000. The 14.5 percent wage increase will raise our average annual salary in 2016 to about $57,300, which, adjusted for inflation, is about a three percent raise since 2001.
 
The approximate cost to Delta in 2016 for our 14.5 percent increase in salary will be about $155 million. And, let’s not forget we do not have any other guaranteed pay raises for 2016 and beyond.
 
Now, let’s consider the money that will be removed from our profit sharing pool because of the cut to how our profit sharing is calculated.
 
Analysts estimate that Delta will earn about $6.5 billion in profits in 2015 and approximately $7.2 billion in 2016 (the profit sharing program defines profit as pre-tax profit excluding profit sharing and special items, such as MTM adjustments and restructuring and other items).
 
That’s up from about $4.5 billion in 2014 and a major reason why Delta cut our plan. Profits are exploding and Delta decided without our input to keep more of that money rather than share it with us.
 
Now, let’s look at what our profit sharing pool would be for 2017—the first year the cut will be initiated—if Delta didn’t change the plan formula:
 
OLD FORMULA:
10% of the first $2.5 billion = $250 million.
20% of $4.7 billion—the profit above $2.5 billion = $940 million
$250 million + $940 million = $1.19 BILLION.
 
Now let’s look at what the pool will be for 2017 with the formula cut:
 
NEW FORMULA: 10% of $6.5 billion = $650 million.
20% of $700 million (the difference between the 2016 profit of $7.2 billion and the 2015 profit of $6.5 billion) = $140 million.
$650 million + $140 million = $790 million.
 
That’s a cut to our profit sharing pool of $400 million for 2017 alone!
 
Let’s think about this for a moment: If $400 million is the average cut to our profit sharing pool each year—and that’s a conservative assumption—over five years that’s $2 BILLION taken from Delta employees.
 
As you can clearly see, the cut in our profit sharing will be more than enough to pay for the wage increases Delta employees received.
 
It’s time to finally stop these pay gimmicks in which a raise is not a raise.
 
That’s why 70 percent of unionized pilots rejected this scheme.

#StillNotAddingAnythingToTheForumButCrap
 
You can't stand that even with the reduction in profit sharing - which came with an additional 8% pay raise that has nothing to do with profit sharing - that DL employees could well end up with double digit profit sharing in the years to come.

Even Kev is holding onto the notion that DL's profit sharing this year could soar past 20%... even taking 6% off of that next year leaves DL with way more than any other airline and virtually any other large company is giving.

Meanwhile, union members at AA are getting increasingly restless that their union leaders gave away profit sharing at a time when profits for the airline industry were expected to be strong as a result of consolidation.

Low oil prices - the result of macroeconomic issues which airlines don't have anything to do with - are leading to $4 million payouts per month for AA's CEO Doug Parker. It is no wonder that AA labor is upset that they aren't getting any benefit for profit sharing which is heavily driven by oil prices and the strong dollar but Parker is sure cashing in on it.

Perhaps the reason why DL people are happy is because they are sharing in DL's success and their leaders aren't telling them that they don't have anything to do with major decisions that affect the profitability of the company.
 
Bottom line, DL gave employees what unions were b!tchin' and moanin' about....GUARANTEED PAY vs. UNGUARANTEED PS.
The IAM is pissed they had nothing to do with it, wants to change their tune and that it was a huge set back for them!

So, when's the FA/Ramp vote?
