Dear Delta Flight Attendants,

Seasons Greetings! Our Delta AFA Organizing Committee wishes you happy holidays.

Flying around the holidays can be tough for us. Stressed passengers. Inclement weather. Missing time with our families.

Pandemics, political upheaval, weather, short staffing, and mechanical delays can all lead to canceled rotations, but they should never lead to a canceled paycheck. At Delta, management gets exclusive discretion about how and when we get paid.

I started at Delta almost six years ago. I remember the day when management got up to give us the “just say no to a union” speech in training.

For me, that speech went in one ear and out the other because I’ve seen the union difference myself.

Delta management loves to talk about how we’re a family. Yet when it comes to planning for retirement, they’re playing favorites. Delta Flight Attendants get an automatic 3% contribution to their 401k every paycheck. How much do Delta pilots get? 16%.
