On this Labor Day special episode of Engage, host First Officer Ryan Argenta gets together with legacy pilots First Officer David Adler, MEC Secretary, and Captain Brian Kolbus to discuss where we’ve been and where we need to go as a pilot group as our industry continues to change and shift in new and significant ways. Highlighting important lessons learned from previous contracts and major events; how important it is to support one another through pilot unity and how that unity has seriously moved the needle on negotiations; and a few war stories from earlier days, including the Northwest Airlines strike of 1998. This episode is a tribute to those who have endured tumultuous times throughout their careers, sacrificing their time, energy, and effort to secure the future of aviation at Delta Air Lines and beyond – for that, we thank you. On this Labor Day, we reflect and pay homage to the past while recognizing that Delta pilots are at a critical juncture in securing our future at Delta Air Lines.
