Delta said this month that it would have more pilots than needed as it reduces its network and fleet due to a drop in demand from the COVID-19 pandemic, but is working to avoid involuntary furloughs. Delta confirmed the release of the results of the bid “to better align our staffing with our future flying demand” and said it is “looking at all options to mitigate or minimize furloughs and will continue working with ALPA in the coming weeks to explore those options.”
Major U.S. airlines, which have received billions of dollars in taxpayer aid for payroll, have all warned that they will need to reduce their workforce once a government-imposed ban on job cuts expires on Sept. 30.
delta may also want to work on their system where they change your flights, tell you to modify it online, online doesn’t work so they tell you to call, and when you call, they tell you to go online. How can you regain customer trust like that?
Humanly speaking the 2,300 pilots of Delta being protected from furlough might face anxiety and considerable uncertainties. But that figure alone shows, the bigger the private multinational, the more employees it might have and hence the higher the number of affected households.
Delta realDonaldTrump USAGBarr I object to my taxpayer $ going to any airline! I refuse to fly as long as they mandate mask wearing on flight & boarding areas w/toxic fogging! Put a stop to this immediately! Masks should be a choice! IRefuseToWearAMask Let them go under!
Didn’t they just get like a billion dollars or something? How on earth can there be furloughs when taxpayers bailed them out 8 weeks ago?
Oh well. Maybe they could sell some of the stock they bought with their tax cuts and other bailouts.
