Add MCO to the list. ... and during the winter I even scrape windshields for them (since I got a big ol scraper in my truck and don't care about the appearance of my man hands)

That whole van deal is one touchy subject. I agree the pilots should get it too, but I was told the reason the FA"s get it is for their safety.

Deleted. This part of the memo was copied verbatim off of a copyrighted company memo. Sorry.

Well, that's not >exactly< what was said, but we get the point. The first two sentences are correct tho.

I understand your point, but isn't that discriminatory? What about male FA's? Or female pilots? Do male FA's need it, or do female pilots NOT need it?

Just heard that the NMB just stated that Delta did not interfere with the flight attendant union elections, maybe paving the way for integration of North and South Flight attendants. Stay tuned!

Seems like ALPA and the CPO could agree nearly instantly that's a stupid rule and change it.

Good luck with that.....

I don't like it but that's the reality.

Pilots can be mugged/harassed on public transportation too. I'm not intimately familiar with the NYC issues, but if true, this is a flimsy excuse. Is one employee group (or gender majority) more valuable than another?

Can't we all just get along?
