One of the major roadblocks in our attempt to achieve permanent positive space commuting was the company’s insistence on us bearing the cost of giving that same benefit to the entire flight attendant group, in the interest of “fairness”.

Being the only large union on property (dispatchers are unionized, but much smaller in number) stands in the way more than it helps. Management is obsessed with downplaying the value of a union in the eyes of our non-union groups, which often means giving away items that we negotiate to the non-union groups (at our expense).

Look guys. Delta is a very good and well run air line. I think there's way too much jealousy of what they have on the various AA forums. I think a lot of that is sour grapes from guys who didn't get picked by them.
The pilot group however leaves a lot to be desired. For most of my career Delta guys have acted like they're superior to everyone. Just try saying hi to one in uniform especially passing through ATL. Just look how they migrate through every airline's forum here posting constantly trying to show everyone how smart they are. They think they're doing us a favor! If the Delta pilots don't like the reputation they have or think it's unfair then they should work on it. We all put our pants on 1 leg at a time. Just stop acting like haughty smartest guys in the room all the time. We know your company is profitable and well run. We know your contract is the richest. We know your naval officer unforms look sharp. We don't need to be constantly reminded.

This. Delta’s management team has taken a methodical and disciplined long-term approach to their business. When American and United were outsourcing mx overseas, Delta was growing DTO and marketing their MRO services to other airlines. Airlines worried about fuel hedging? Delta bought their own refinery. While other airlines are concerned with making splashy headlines for new airplane orders, Delta is consistently picking up 2nd hand aircraft for deep discounts. Not every plan has worked out, but their approach has been markedly “creative” when compared to industry peers. They’re looking beyond just the next month-end. It does appear American and United have taken note to some degree and are applying it in their own ways, but they're definitely playing catch-up at this point.

Seriously, this doesn't happen with United guys. Why does every AA thread have a bunch of Dleta guys commenting. This one should be moved over to the Delta forum.

SoFlo is a Dbag. I literally couldn’t take his random misguided nonsense anymore. Idk you, we’ve had zero interactions until today. Your post history reminds me of Laxtoden haha. Multiple “going off the rails” moments. Also everyone is apparently a “newb”, haha, nice…
