Delta Air Lines Readies Work-Rule Changes
Friday, October 10, 2003 12:13 AM ET Printer-friendly version
Delta Air Lines (DAL, news) is rolling out major work-rule changes for its flight attendants in a move the company said will increase productivity but that some flight attendants say is a wage cut in disguise, Friday's Wall Street Journal reported.
The nation's No. 3 carrier said the changes will save the company about $40 million annually. The new rules include replacing a minimum base pay for flight attendants with an hourly wage rate and removing caps on how many hours attendants are allowed to work. Delta said the new rules will take effect next May and June. Because its flight attendants aren't represented by a union, Delta, unlike other big carriers, doesn't have to negotiate the changes. Delta said its flight attendants, depending on seniority and hours worked, make between $30,000 and $60,000 a year.
