This is especially disturbing given that fuel is off it's highs. If you believe in charts and trend data, DAL is trading at a support level and most likely to go up.
But, as pilots we need to be concerned about the Board's direction to Management about our limp share price. Every time they demand "something" be done, that something is reduced capacity, which more often than not served by airplanes we do not fly.

There is no need for being disturbed in my view. The stock price was $4 and change in March, 2009 and Delta didn't furlough a single pilot. On June 27 Delta guided for a profitable second quarter and 2011. The stock price is reacting to a host of analysts lowering earnings and geopolitical events completely out of the control of our company. jmo.
as of today 10 of 14 analysts have DAL listed as a "buy" or "strong buy". Only 2 rate Delta as "underperform" or "sell". One analyst even recently raised his estimated price target to $20 after DAL failed to reach his previous price targets of $14 and $16 respectively.

A step in the facilitation of such horse trading was evidenced today in yet another vote along pre-merger lines. We will see who runs and who's elected.

Sooo.....
It looks like we are going to have an election for a new negotiating committee.
"Pre-merger lines" indeed.
And the rank and file pilots are once again treated like mushrooms while our future is decided.
I got a bad feeling about this. Our scope clause might be in some trouble.

I'm worried more about our customer service culture than I am about the price of oil. When I see a DCA gate agent use one hand to shoo away a customer with a question, or I see an ATL gate agent tell a Diamond Medallion member that she can't board the airplane with the open gate door without so much as a smile and an apology, I fear for my future.
We fly the airplanes safely and professionally, but the public *expects* that. Outstanding customer service is what attracts and retains customers, and I personally intend to go further out of my way to both set the example and write up those who either excel or fail at making our customers feel like they're the most important people in the world.

Once again, that customer satisfaction is a direct correlation to poor control of outsourcing on our part. Time to sunset those agreements. Our managers don't care since they won't be here and are just looking for short term gains, but we should be keenly interested as this is the future of our careers continuing to be squandered.

What specifically did they vote on and what was the specific result/action required?
