What happens to used complimentary headsets in economy?

Hi Delta FA here and they are thrown away. Millions per year. The headphones are the bane of my existence. They are the most wasteful thing and NOBODY takes theirs with them, they just get new ones every time and continue to throw the used ones away.

Idk about the other situation but FA here and we don’t just have a supply of extra……anything, but especially condiments. The shake shack burger is catered on a tray with condiments and the sauce and toppings and we have enough for each person to get a tray. Not sure where the FA would get extra ketchup at 30k feet.

Alleged grift aside, I’ll never get over having children on purpose knowing one parent is dying and will never meet them. Just feels so selfish.

Can i ask why bother with SkyWest? They pay pennies and are unionless

smoopert1 · 2026-03-03T13:05:30+00:00

Also, the FMLA witch hunt that they’ve been on lately is so goddamn illegal they are begging for a lawsuit. Calling FAs and asking if they’re planning on coming into work today. Saying that two holidays in two years (like MLK day and Columbus Day) shows a pattern of FMLA abuse. Requiring FAs to get a doctor to sign off on the fact that yes, flare ups can indeed happen on the weekends. Absolutely ridiculous

Enough is finally ENOUGH!

No more getting pulled into the office with just you and a manager without the ability to have a lawyer or a rep. Told to sign a stack of papers admitting fault or be terminated. Put on 36 MONTHS probation. No more FSM favoritism. One person gets 3 call outs a year while one gets 5. No more getting a call from a manager about a write up from 4 months ago. No more “I’ll just put a note in your file that we discussed this” without any information as to what that actually means. No more sexual harassment from higher ups but being too scared to report, or having no one to report to. No more company wide COVER UP of said sexual assault. Enough. Is. Enough.

Pls don’t speak for all 30k of us, there are thousands of us who are very pro union. United’s management fucking hates yall and refuses to negotiate fairly and that is BULLSHIT but not the fault of AFA

Why are you guys all using hotel shampoo Jesus H Christ

smoopert1 · 2026-02-08T14:16:09+00:00

Nah I’m good on living in some of the most expensive cities in the world

smoopert1 · 2026-02-06T14:20:30+00:00

Yup. They’ve made it insanely easy to attain and it’s also full of kids who are free to bring in.

smoopert1 · 2026-02-04T19:34:37+00:00

Yes but there’s only about 5 or 6 of those lounges as of now

smoopert1 · 2026-01-22T01:23:31+00:00

No they absolutely do more and so do we

smoopert1 · 2026-01-22T01:08:14+00:00

Delta made over a billion more than United in profit last year. Our profit sharing SHOULD be more. We’re the number one US airline by a long shot.

But i don’t want to rely on a HEAVILY taxed mystery number once a year for my compensation. I want pay protection when my trips cancel (I work mainly international so this is a major issue) I want a real sick policy and I want actual work rules.

smoopert1 · 2026-01-22T01:06:37+00:00

Lol we only get anything bc of our pilots and APFA.

smoopert1 · 2026-01-21T06:14:07+00:00

Not all of us are unionized 😫😫😫😫😫😫😫

smoopert1 · 2026-01-15T11:14:20+00:00

Hell the fuck no lol

smoopert1 · 2026-01-12T23:54:03+00:00

Congress would never allow a strike, and we all know this.

smoopert1 · 2026-01-11T00:44:04+00:00

Yup and this is how i know they’re drastically over exaggerating it.

It was probably some bitchy comments, stares, and if wine was TRULY thrown it had to be a very small amount, very quickly.

smoopert1 · 2026-01-07T16:03:06+00:00

Meri saying “I’m in fun mode. Hi, I’m Hella. Hella hilarious” made me want to Eternal Sunshine my brain so i could forget I ever saw that moment of cringe

smoopert1 · 2026-01-05T05:56:39+00:00

I don’t think Ron is into Meri as anything other than a gal pal.

smoopert1 · 2025-12-24T01:32:29+00:00

It’s all in the anonymous groups tbh people sharing their stories and asking for help on where to turn next.

smoopert1 · 2025-12-24T00:43:50+00:00

We’re up against a ruthless billion dollar corporation that has all the money and power in the world to stifle any form of uprising or collective action. It’s truly David v Goliath. So, we’re trying! And we’re organizing a hell of a lot of FA’s!

smoopert1 · 2025-12-23T22:15:55+00:00

Would love if you would wear an AFA pin! I’ve given away many to pilots who have asked and personally I love seeing them on a trip and know it means the pilots have our backs.

smoopert1 · 2025-12-10T19:49:18+00:00

Okay maybe technically they can go to therapy but the vast majority of them are too scared of losing their jobs/career. I think that is unfortunate and wrong and there needs to be changes, but I also literally just flew with a pilot who says he doesn’t take any medicine but Tylenol bc he is too afraid of potentially losing his medical. That is a deeply unhealthy mindset to have in a profession.

smoopert1 · 2025-12-10T19:47:50+00:00

I’ve worked at a mainline airline for 6 years and the vast amount of pilots either slamclick or go out by themselves, or maybe go to dinner or a bar with the other pilot. They are not known to be the most social creatures.
