Overpromise and underdeliver: that’s the AFA way

Overpromise and underdeliver: that’s the AFA way
Let’s set the record straight about AFA and its promises to “fix it with a contract” and deliver more.
It claims that an AFA-negotiated contract will “fix” everything and deliver improvements across the board. When you dig a little deeper, AFA’s assurances often just don’t add up.
Just look at some of the issues happening across the industry amid recovery and related operational issues, even with a union contract:
United flight attendants have expressed issues with long wait times to get in touch with scheduling or other resources.
One issue at American Airlines (and other places) is the availability of hotels for crew members.
Spirit flight attendants have experienced crew scheduling challenges during IROPs.
Delta is not immune from the challenges impacting our industry, the economy, and our world – and we are certainly not perfect. However, by working together, we have and continue to address your concerns and deliver more meaningful changes for you time and again:
Industry-first boarding pay premium
4% pay increase – the first among peers in nearly 18 months
Profit-sharing that beats all other airlines – $6 billion in the five years leading up to the pandemic, $3.5 billion more than United
A special profit-sharing payment for 2021 despite not turning a full-year profit
Higher hourly flight pay rates at every step of the scale
The A-Day program, which delivers fewer reserve days, more scheduling flexibility and greater earning potential
More paid holidays and vacation days
Higher domestic and international per diem
Hiring almost 2,500 new flight attendants – and counting – in 2022 to support you and the operation
Introduced Airport Sign-in
Continuing to add support staff to Crew Scheduling, Crew Assist, and SkyHub to improve your experience
The record is clear: Delta and our direct relationship deliver more for you. Don’t settle for anything less.
Don’t Risk It. Don’t Sign It.
