How about delta worries about how it is going to repay its paying customers first. I am out of pocket $200 Uber, $140 rental car, plus I had to purchase business class tickets on AA because delt could not get me home until Thursday when I started my trip on Sunday and two days of my life lost.

Since we are now fully recovered from the meltdown, I think it’s time to discuss what management should do to help compensate the frontline employees who got them through this meltdown. We faced furious passengers, sat around at airports, paid for hotel rooms out of pocket, and much more so I don’t think expecting compensation for that is unreasonable. Here’s what I think our compensation should include:
1. accountability for the meltdown from management and a commitment to modernize our IT. This is #1 for me. Constantly trying to blame Crowdstrike is unacceptable in my opinion. Other airlines recovered immediately. We didn’t. I think IT is the reason why and we need to make sure this doesn’t happen again.
2. write off the expense of the meltdown as a 1 time write off so it doesn’t factor into our profit sharing. It’s not our fault this meltdown occurred and our profit sharing shouldn’t suffer because of it.
3. Positive space tickets. I think 2 round trip tickets or 4 one way tickets would be acceptable.
anything I’m missing?

PCS? The thing that processes pot swaps and slips and stuff? It's not that special, it basically runs a bunch of yes/no checks and then shifts some trips around. PBS is impressive, as is whatever they use to build rotations.

I think we'll be lucky to see a couple + space tickets. And I could care less about this "perk" as the LAST places I want to be on a day off is on an airplane or anywhere near "The ATL".
I got a nice chunk of EDP and RR pay. If they agree to pay for my long LYFT ride I'll be satisfied.

Never expire (even into retirement), can book way in advance, etc.
I love 'em. Not everyone is able to ride the gravy train during IROPS.

just my hot take: the public optics of Delta giving out compensation/rewards to employees because of the crowdstrike meltdown will NOT result in more love for Delta from the traveling public.
If Delta is going to go this route, which they have in the past, I think they should delay the reward/compensation announcement until this whole mess is forgotten as "last weeks" news.
