In 2002 there were 19,000 FAs compared to Aprils count of 12,000. Sounds to me like the younger FAs are pulling for AFA while the older generation FAs say no...
If the merged DL gets unionized that is the day DL is doomed.
Actually, the AFA drive at DL is being spearheaded by the 25-30 year group.
How would unionizing the Flight Attendants doom DL? The Pilot's haven't sunk the carrier. Besides, DL isn't in great shape even with out the unions.
One of the first things once unionized at DL, is to fix the Flight Attendants pensions! It's worse than at NW.
