Delta Seniority Integration Committee Steal the AFA Thunder!

On February 11th, 2009 the Delta Integration Committee released a statement disclosing their unanimous vote regarding the integration of the Delta and Northwest flight attendants. The committee recommendation is an "In-Flight Date of Hire" merge. This truly is the only fair integration and is a win for all the flight attendants!

However, one can only imagine what is going on at AFA Headquarters with this announcement. The AFA union has successfully used their fear-mongering rhetoric since the merger announcement and just one of those "reasons" to keep AFA on the property was to protect the "date of hire" integration supported by AFA.

NOW WHAT??

Seems the merger committee has agreed to the DOH integration, and stolen away the AFA rumbling and fear-mongering thunder!

• Despite AFA's refusal to meet with this committee at possibly a detriment to the membership.......this committee did the right thing!
• Despite the AFA refusal to allow the flight attendants to get on with their lives and call for an election, the merger process goes forward
• Despite the AFA refusal to even discuss integration until "they" think an election should be announced
• Despite AFA refusal to talk but rather sue in court instead!
• Despite the general membership seeking an expedited merger, including pay raises! AFA refuses to listen to the voice of the members
• Sounds like its all about dues and winning an election. Clearly, the interests of the membership have been put aside all for the $$$$$$$$

Well, quite simply the Delta Integration Committee did their job, unlike the AFA. It would seem that maybe, just maybe, many of the AFA members might be thinking......Well, it looks like it will be DOH, so maybe one more reason to ignore the AFA fear mongering and scare tactics. And just one more reason why maybe the AFA war drum may not be in any one's best interest for our future........just a thought!

With all the fear mongering AFA thunder gone, the all powerful and mighty AFA is left with simply....a bunch of hot-air!

Here is a link to the most current "merged" lists. Spend a minute checking out this GREAT site, as well.....for all the latest flight attendant information.
