Anyone know who at Delta to email this link to, so that Delta can help a good cause and get some good publicity?

Thanks FC. That's exactly what happened. They had me on leave that I wasn't aware of. Apparently Payroll sends leave info to ALPA automatically but they never updated ALPA that I returned to active status four months ago. Glad I asked the question of how to do the survey.

Sad. Guy's wife apparently passed away a couple of years ago and he had a teenaged son.

Here's the deal. He has proudly told some of his Falcon colleagues that he's retired from Delta. He also told his Falcon colleagues that he was going to fly the flight and cross the picket line before he did it. I should have left all of my posts up. I let you guys talk me into taking them down. I was about 95 percent sure he was former Delta. Now I'm 100 percent sure. There's also another former Delta pilot at Falcon that intended to fly an airplane to FLL, but not fly any scab flights. I'm not really happy about the backlash I have been getting for posting legitimate posts.
Now that same website has changed the name of the Captain, and he IS a former DAL pilot. I agree with the others that this is legitimate info, and I can almost certainly guarantee that his beef is due to the terminated pension. This is his way of sticking it to ALPA (at least in his mind), which I'm sure is the source of his angst.

hockeypilot, the reason for my previous request to pull the posts is you had indicated you were not 100% sure AND the Spirit Airlines SCABS, Spirit Airlines Strike listed the names of both pilots, neither of which were former DAL pilots. Thus, based on that, I believed your info to obviously be in error.
