Delta Air Lines pilots publishes an open letter to customers in a direct appeal to those who may be frustrated by flight delays and cancellations ahead of the summer travel season.
The pilots' spat with Delta comes as the pilots' union, the Air Line Pilots Association , seeks to negotiate a new contract with the Atlanta-based carrier. The pilots said they plan to picket Delta's upcoming shareholder meeting.
“It gives us no pleasure to tell management, ‘We told you so,’” Delta Capt. Jason Ambrosi, an ALPA leader, said in a release accompanying Thursday's letter. “Pilots are mission-oriented and want to deliver industry-leading operational performance. We’ve picked up record amounts of overtime to help Delta during the recovery.”
In a statement, Delta said: “All of our people, including our pilots, are working hard to restore our airline and deliver for our customers as we emerge from the pandemic. We are grateful for and proud of their efforts. It continued:"We continuously evaluate our staffing models and plan ahead so that we can recover quickly when unforeseen circumstances arise, and the resilience of the Delta people is unmatched in that regard. Pilot schedules remain in line with all requirements set by the FAA as well as those outlined in our pilot contract.
"These are excellent jobs, with a career value of $11 million," Darby said."It's hard to believe we have a shortage for an $11 million career, but due to short sightedness ... any solution is going to be three, four, five years away."
