Delta – Industry Leading: But Not In Wages And Benefits

Congrats on the raise. But here’s the thing. Delta is leading the industry in profits and in profit sharing but that’s it. Flight attendants at Southwest just got an immediate 22% raise because of their union. Southwest ramp went immediately to $38 an hour and they top out at $42 an hour. And Southwest Above Wing now has the same pay scale as the ramp. They lead the industry. Our own pilots got an immediate 18% raise and 34% over four years. Why the disparity? Perhaps because they have a union?

And if you add in superior retirement, vacation, personal time, occupational injury pay, health insurance, and work rules that means money in your pocket and consistent treatment for all, Delta workers are left in the dust. Having a union pays huge dividends.
