AFA took nine years to negotiate a second contract at Spirit
AFA suggests it can open a fast lane to many changes at Delta. But that is tough to reconcile with AFA’s track record at other airlines.
Take a look at Spirit
AFA spent nine years (from 2007-2016) negotiating a second contract for just 2,200 Spirit flight attendants. That’s hardly the quick fix AFA claims it could deliver at Delta. During this time, Spirit flight attendants had no pay scale increases, and were locked into the benefits and work rules negotiated years earlier. This is what usually happens during the negotiations process: no pay increases or other improvements until a new contract is agreed-to by both sides.
It doesn’t have to be this way
Delta flight attendants are part of the solution when it comes to helping us transform our business and enact policies that support our people and customers. For example, during the nine years Spirit flight attendants waited for a pay increase and contract enhancements, Delta shared over $5 billion in profit sharing and flight attendants received nine different flight pay increases, on top of a range of enhancements to things like holiday and vacation pay, holding pay, minimum guarantees for A-Day and duty credit, RR pay, CQ pay and so, so much more.
Delta has a long track record of putting you first and working on timely improvements that make a difference. Our culture embraces you speaking your mind and enables leaders to act, and the proof is there for all to see.
Don’t Risk It. Don’t Sign It.
