Dear Fellow Flight Attendant:

Last week more than 100 flight attendants from Delta and Northwest met near Baltimore to discuss what we can do to make sure that flight attendants don’t get left behind as we all work to make the new Delta the premier airline in the world.

These flight attendants – from domiciles all across the country – raised a lot of important issues as we discussed our hopes and concerns about the future.  We also looked at the results of a new survey of flight attendants throughout the Delta-Northwest network, which confirmed that all of us are concerned about how flight attendants are treated as this new company takes shape.

Obviously, we are all proud to work for the new Delta, a world-class airline that will be the largest in the world. Delta flight attendants deserve industry-leading standards for the work we do, just like Delta pilots now have with a new contract. Delta executives also have collected big bonuses.

Unfortunately, executives can currently change Delta flight attendants’ conditions of work at any time. Only a legally binding contract can guarantee our pay, benefits and work rules.

That’s why flight attendants at the Baltimore meeting passed the attached resolution, promising to work toward gaining Delta flight attendants an industry-leading contract.

In the weeks ahead, we will be talking with many of you, asking you what you think are the most important issues for flight attendants at the new Delta.  Remember, with a group of over 20,000, the largest unit at Delta, we can have a powerful voice if we stand together.

Thank you for all that you do.
