It’s easy to see why AA would sue over use of the word Flagship by Delta when Delta doesn’t offer any kind of premium offering On the ground like AA/UA do with their lounges or when Delta takes an old business seat and reupholstered it but calls it “flagship” then uses the term with bloggers repeat...

You are right! Meant to say AFA. What about Delta pilots though. Are they not in their right mind for being unionized? , because they get paid 1.9% of my pay, personally, I would love to kick Alpa to the curb. so, on average, its costing each pilot $4,000 to $5,000 a year to belong to ALPA. Thats a...

Jump to post“Several” is not a big sample when compared to a 25000+ FA group. Also, DTW is a former NWA hub. Very easy to find union-loving FAs there.
