The Delta Disparity Difference
Equal Work, Equal Pay - It's Time To Bridge The Gap!
Hello! I’m Billy Hennessey, the LEC President serving the Flight Attendants of Atlanta. I want to express my gratitude to all of those who attended our October 3rd, 2024 Delta Disparity Difference Picketing at Delta Air Lines Corporate Headquarters. Everyone came together in unity to express our frustration over poverty level wages.
We were pleased to be joined by my fellow Flight Attendants, Pilots and Supporters alike. I wish to express my personal thanks the AFA-CWA International Vice President, the ALPA MEC Chairman and the President of the Atlanta Labor Council for your attendance. Your presence was a true testament to what Unity means.
​
We will be posting updates to this page as soon as we hear the company's response to our cry for help. If the company continues to ignore our needs, we will continue to plan more events with a wider audience.
​
In Solidarity,
Billy Hennessey
LEC President - Atlanta Council 49

What is the Delta Disparity Difference?
The Delta Disparity Difference is our campaign that shows Delta’s corporate greed and how Endeavor Flight Attendants are the ones suffering on the front line! The information listed below is just the start of the DDD Campaign and what we’re fighting for. It’s time to bridge the gap between Delta and its wholly owned subsidiaries. We are Delta. We keep climbing but we’re not getting anywhere.
​
Hourly Pay Rates
Our Mainline counterparts get paid an average of $10 to $40 an hour MORE (depending on their seniority) than Endeavor Flight Attendants for doing the exact same job. (See Chart on this page)
​
Profit Sharing
Our Mainline counterparts enjoy an annual profit sharing check each February based on the profits Delta Air Lines as a whole. Endeavor, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Delta and contributes heavily to Delta’s profit, yet we receive absolutely no profit sharing.
Note: The average profit sharing check for our Mainline counterparts was approximately $14,000.
​
Duty Rigs
If a Mainline Flight Attendant is on Duty for 12 hours and only fly 2 hours, they get paid for 6. We get paid for 4.This is particularly important for IROPs.
​
Travel Benefits
Our Mainline counterparts enjoy a higher boarding priority and the ability to travel at an S2 several times a year. Endeavor Flight Attendants are only able to S3A on Mainline and S3 on our own metal despite the fact that our seniority may be higher, we still get a lower boarding priority.
​
Safety factors
The majority of Mainline aircraft has blocked “Turbulence Seats” for the safety of their Flight Attendants while Endeavor Flight Attendants are not permitted to sit on passenger seats as a part of the company’s policy.
​
On-Board Crew Meals
Our Mainline counterparts enjoy Crew Meals that are boarded on their flights when they have long duty periods and are unable to make it to a crew room. Endeavor Flight Attendants are left to fend for themselves.
​
This campaign continues to grow as more issues are identified. Our Flight Attendants MUST stand together every single day and Bridge The Gap between us and Mainline.
​
Under the Railway Labor Act, you have the right to engage in concerted activity, such as picketing, on behalf of you and your fellow Flight Attendants. By picketing, you demonstrate your legally-protected solidarity on behalf of your peers and send a message to management that we are unified and fired up.
It is time to Bridge The Gap and put an end to Delta's Corporate Greed!
​
Delta Airlines flies 4000 Flights Daily. Endeavor Air flies 700 Flights Daily. That means that roughly 18% of Delta's daily departures on on an Endeavor Aircraft which means that Endeavor Flight Attendants plays a vital role each year to ensure Delta's bottom line is profitable and that our Ontime And Safety Performance remains top notch. That said, we have Flight Attendants who are on Public Assistance, living in their cars, sleeping on the floors at airport and it's all because we don't get paid enough to survive. Meanwhile, Delta just posted record breaking profits in the recovery of pandemic.
