Hate Mail of the Weak
|
|
|
Over the years, we have been receiving all kinds of
mail. We receive fan mail, letters of support, letters of thanks,
information, and advice. However, our favorite type of mail is hate
mail. Since the afa-CWA is bringing us a kinder and gentler campaign, we have
decided to balance it by printing the best of our hate mail, and any
thoughts that come to mind when reading it. We would like to
thank the little lady who provided our first "Hate Mail of the
Weak" for the idea. Feel
free to add to the collection: Mail

Nastygram, the first. (Okay, we do not have anything good yet)

Are you happy
now???????????????
No trips- missed vacation, auth.leave paid at 2:45 per day, no more duty
rigs and most of all a PAY CUT for those of us who fly over 75 hours per
month which is the overwhelming majority according to the Delta Survey
from last year.
ALL of these things could have been negotiated but you and your ilk
prevented that.
I just hope you and the Freedom Force are happy now.

Our Response . . . . . Got ILK?
And now, reality. . . . The
afa-CWA would have not been in position to negotiate any of this. Historically,
an afa-CWA contract takes about three years to negotiate. Since the ballots
were counted on February 1, 2002, it is highly probable that we
would not have seen a contract until February 1, 2005. In
the interim, the state of the law allows Delta to impose changes to our
rules and benefits. See
this article
Assuming that our ilk did not prevent the
afa-CWA from being on the property, the afa-CWA has a poor track record.
Recently, it has been sitting at the losing end of the negotiating table
at United and US Airways. By the time the hypothetical
negotiations involving an afa-CWA represented Delta were over, our pay and
benefits would have still been changed (possibly worse), and Pat Friend
would be getting Terry Erskin's (or his replacement's) coffee. It is pure fantasy, to the
point of delusion, to think that the afa-CWA could have made a
difference.
We appreciate you giving us the credit for
defeating the afa-CWA, but it took more ilk than we currently can muster on
staff. It probably took more ilk than the Freedom Force has,
even when combined with the ilk who are friends of She Who Came
Before. The ilk that you speak of was the 71% of us that found the
afa-CWA unfit to represent us. That is the overwhelming majority
here.
