Pilot Reed Donoghue, has come forward in saying that their contracts haven’t been negotiated since 6 years ago, back in 2016.
“Our message today was for Delta management that it was time to come to the table for an industry-leading contract,” Donoghue told NPR over the phone. “And you know, [for] passengers out there flying this weekend, know that there’s a good chance that at least one crew member on their flight, being a flight attendant or a pilot, is likely, you know, working overtime on their day off to help the operation out.”

He continues in explains that besides their request for higher pay, the Delta pilots are demanding better work-life balance, health insurance, retirement and job security, Donoghue said. Reports read that so far this year, Delta pilots are on track by the end of the summer to have rack up more overtime hours than in 2018 and 2019 combined.
