No amount of TYFAD will solve that problem they created. I will always remember I'm just a number and thus they are always just a number to me. I will always be doing minimal effort until I retire in 30 years. IDGAS about the delta difference these days. The only difference I care about is how much $ I'm loosing by being here compared to my peers. FUPM!

You could always go join your peers, where you will stop loosing(sp?) money.

Ask the 9/11 furloughees if they’d trade stories with you.

Now you’re saying you’re going to pitch a multi-decade fit? Grow up.

You can be an adult professional while still advocating for better working conditions. The two aren’t mutually exclusive. Maybe you’re venting?
Multiple furlough letters not being able to plan your life. Yeah you wouldn't understand. Each genration has its own lost genration where the previous group doesn't think the new group has gone though enough to deserve recognition. It's sad that that's how it's still done to this day.

I will be very professional as I have always been but strictly by the contract and nothing more. Nothing extra nada thing.

Yes SP. Yeah I'm not dumb enough to give up 5 years to go do something better. But comments like yours are always the reasoning behind why the contract can be better. Its always why dont you just go fly for "X". But it is clearly you that have no concept of how sernority systems work at airlines... ​​​​​​​

Surprised it took you until 2020 to realize employees are just numbers to corporations. Better late than never though!

“Our” trips don’t mirror SW trips. I noticed how you made sure you avoided the comparison. Just that our trip pay is “better”.

the sad thing is our trips dont pay better. If you are flying a 21hr hard fly 4 day at SWA you are doing something wrong...

No problem with fly the contract. Especially in section 6.

I’m sorry you all had to go through the uncertainty but in the grand scheme of life’s “injustices” that was a big nothing burger. I’m extremely happy everyone is back and rocketing upwards in opportunity.

Just a little friendly advice that you can obviously ignore. Don’t martyr yourself. 30 years is too long to be angry about the UNA blip.

never said I was going to martyr myself, but also not going to give an inch over minimal effort. No reason to give more than minimal. It's in our best interest to always give minimal effort. Minimal effort = more staffing

Doing more than minimal has gotten us horrid rotations, short overnights, and TYFAD with no real improvements in 2.5 years...continuing to do the same thing and expecting different results is just the definition to insanity. Break the trend!

Man, I hate the “you think you had it bad, talk to ____” argument. No one owns the ultimate hard time.

All I will forward with is how UAL creates the sense of union from day one with half wings, eight ball ect...
Here at DAL it's dog eat dog. Our group has no sense of union and instead creates an entitlement of mine (see DZ, see non DZ, see lost era, see una, see ect...) it was fantastic to see all the GS go out while there were people out on UNA. You got yours so who cares about the una people. After all they deserved it for being JR at major airline....how foolish of them to think they made it and would be covered by DALPA...

I'm sure Delta management is quite pleased with the infighting as they don't actually have to do anything. As it generally better than it was and worse than it is. So with our method no one wins and everyone loses.
