He says it's been six years since the pilots last signed an agreement. "We have been instrumental in picking up record amounts of overtime, spending fewer days at home all in order to navigate our way back through COVID to profitability at Delta airlines,” Hartmann said. The nationwide protests were created to send a clear message to Delta management about their desire for this industry-leading contract."One that reflects the value and commitment and professionalism of the Delta pilots,” Hartmann adds. "Delta pilots have been industry leader in leading the company back to a both profitable and reliable airline." Hartmann says he hopes today's protests lead to meaningful negotiations that show the airline's commitment to Delta pilots.<br/>
