Delta Flight Attendant Agreement

The thank you pay­ment to employees comes at a time when a new skir­mish breaks out between Delta, largely non-​​unionized, and the nation‘s largest flight atten­dant union. The union accuses Delta of pres­suring workers to return to work too soon after con­tracting the virus. Ear­lier this week, Scott Kirby, CEO of United Air­lines, sent a letter to employees saying that 3,000 employees had tested pos­i­tive for Covid-​​19. In a single day at Newark Lib­erty Inter­na­tional Air­port, nearly a third of United employees fell ill and the air­line reduced sched­uled flights throughout the system. Can­cel­la­tions have fallen sharply in recent days, but the flood of peak flights has cost the air­line $75 mil­lion, and the latest out­break caused by the Omi­cron variant of the virus is expected to set back the industry‘s recovery by two months. CEO Ed Bas­tian said 8,000 employees have con­tracted Covid-​​19 in the past four weeks. Sick workers and winter storms have led to the can­cel­la­tion of more than 2,200 flights since December 24. More details on the ten­ta­tive agree­ment will not be released until next week, after they have been for­warded to flight atten­dants. The CDC made the change, with its director, Rochelle Walensky, explaining on NPR that “we started to meet the chal­lenges with it. Flights with air­lines and other regions. DETROIT (13. Feb­ruary 2020) — Endeavor Air flight atten­dants, rep­re­sented by the Asso­ci­a­tion of Flight Attendants-​​CWA (AFA), and Endeavor Air today reached a pre­lim­i­nary agreement.

The five-​​year agree­ment pro­vides for imme­diate wage increases and improved work rules for more than 1,500 flight atten­dants. “I don‘t think we‘re going to see an increase in book­ings or travel in Jan­uary and prob­ably in the first half of Feb­ruary,” Bas­tian said in an inter­view. “It‘s still the weakest part of the year, and it will be so much weaker because of Omi­cron. We need con­fi­dence in the return of travel once the virus is back. Delta expects to lose money in Jan­uary and Feb­ruary and for the entire first quarter. Sara Nelson, pres­i­dent of the Flight Atten­dants Asso­ci­a­tion, said Delta pres­sured the CDC after delaying offering incen­tives to employees to take extra work during the hol­i­days as infec­tions spread. Delta denies the union‘s alle­ga­tions, and the airline‘s top lawyer sent a cease and desist letter to the union last week accusing the group of making “false and defam­a­tory” state­ments about the com­pany. Delta believes it will hire sev­eral thou­sand people this year, Bas­tian said, as it rebuilds after the pan­demic and hope­fully pre­pares for a busy summer. The com­pany pro­vided $108 mil­lion for spe­cial profit-​​sharing pay­ments of $1,250 for each cur­rent employee.

The air­line expects first-​​quarter rev­enue to be 72 to 74 per­cent of pre-​​pandemic levels, about as much as in the fourth quarter. Costs are expected to rise sharply. Non-​​fuel costs will increase by about 15% from 2019, and kerosene will also become more expen­sive. The Air­line Data Project (ADP) was launched by the MIT Global Air­line Industry Pro­gram to better under­stand the oppor­tu­ni­ties, risks, and chal­lenges of this impor­tant industry. The ADP presents the most impor­tant data from the air­line industry in one place in an easy-​​to-​​understand and user-​​friendly format. We need a con­tract with a solid remu­ner­a­tion. What pro­vi­sions would you like to see in your first con­tract? Together, we are the heart of Delta Air Lines. We want to be a member of the Asso­ci­a­tion of Flight Attendants-​​CWA, AFL-​​CIO, to fully express the pride we have in doing a job well done as people at the fore­front of Delta‘s suc­cess. Shares of Delta Air Lines Inc.

rose more than 2% before Thursday‘s opening bell and most major air­lines tended to rise. The Asso­ci­a­tion of Flight Attendants-​​CWA, (AFA) AFL-​​CIO rep­re­sents 50,000 flight atten­dants on 20 air­lines. The AFA is the union that has led the flight atten­dant pro­fes­sion for 74 years, fighting dis­crim­i­na­tion and improving wages, ben­e­fits, working con­di­tions, as well as flight safety, health and safety in the air­craft cabin. The AFA also works with the 700,000 mem­bers of Com­mu­ni­ca­tions Workers of America (CWA), AFL-​​CIO. Visit us at the www​.afacwa​.org.

So far, the number of people trav­eling to the U.S. has dropped 20 per­cent in Jan­uary com­pared to the same month in 2019 — worse than the 16 per­cent declines in November and December.

Delta Air Lines lost $408 mil­lion in the last quarter of 2021, weighed down by a Covid-​​19 surge that rocked the air­line in December, and the air­line pre­dicted Thursday that it would suffer another quar­terly loss before travel resumes in the spring and summer.

Just talking about win­ning our flight atten­dant union is already bringing pos­i­tive change at Delta and we can work together to make the most of it now. Let‘s improve our pro­fes­sion with flight atten­dants across America and around the world. Together we are stronger, together we are better.

Rev­enue was $9.47 bil­lion, down 17 per­cent from $11.44 bil­lion in the fourth quarter of 2019, but well above the $9.02 bil­lion fore­cast by industry ana­lysts. The data on this web­site comes from the U.S. Depart­ment of Transportation‘s Form 41 data product. It was selected and ana­lyzed to examine the industry and its broad trends, as well as to iden­tify the fun­da­mental fac­tors of suc­cess – and in some cases, the first signs of a pos­sible failure. .
