Subject: Fwd: Cannon fodder

Mark,
I put this together after another good friend of mine died.  Kind of irks me but we know Delta is not going to do anything unless pressed to.
I have sent numerous letters to the BOD. 

I am not offended if you decide not to use it, most will not go to the trouble to send even if you do everything for them.
Have a great year, looking forward to finally getting in court,

Rob, Scott,
I put this together and was going to send to the BOD.  I think that is the only way to influence them.  Anderson and Bastain will probably ignore but might get the attention of a champion on the BOD.  Would be lucky if this actually made it through to them, I have sent previous letters marked "Personal and Confidential".  Rob Kight finally sent me a letter saying the BOD would not respond further to my input.

If you or Mark wanted to use this and ask people to send it, if enough got through might get a little attention.    They should be able to change anything they wanted in the pdf.  My son did the logo, that can be changed also.
Just my 2 cents from sitting around,
Have a great New Year,
XX
Suggested Draft Letter Below:  

NOTE: The Addresses most successful for Board Dir to actually “receive” any mailings is any address OTHER than their official Delta address which is highly filtered.  Yes, it takes a little research and unfortunately I won’t publish the Director’s other addresses here, but they ALL work at other locations and they all have personal residences.  Mailing through Delta is a complete waste of time.  The reason we got a sit down with Mssr.Rob Kight I believe was because of BOD pressure that came because I used “alternative” addresses to mail our petition to them.

Delta Airlines, Inc                Recommend “Alternative” non-Delta address for mailing

Mr. (Name of Director):
Attached is a partial list (108) of Delta pilots who died in 2014. All of these Delta pilots and those who died in the last eight years have died without the pension that they earned throughout their careers at Delta Air Lines. It is a shame that Delta has chosen to treat their employees and veterans in this manner.
You as a member of the Board of Directors have an opportunity to correct this injustice. It is time that Delta honored their commitments to retired pilots.
Signed,

(Your Name)
Retired Delta Pilot
