Pilots employed by Delta Air Lines silently picketed outside SLC airport in protest of the company’s scheduling practices, stating they are overworked and exhausted.
Since the beginning of the pandemic, Delta Air Line pilots say they’ve worked a record amount of overtime.| April 7, 2022, 9:48 p.m.As travelers arrived at Salt Lake City International Airport on Thursday, they were greeted by roughly 70 Delta Air Lines pilots stoically standing with signs that read “If I look tired it’s because I am” and “Fatiguing schedules=poor reliability.”
However, they haven’t had enough time to recuperate between flights. Rather, they’re flying on their days off and forgoing time with family to keep up with the number of flights booked. The picket won’t disrupt scheduled take-offs from Salt Lake City. Pilots lined up outside the airport were doing so on their day off, says Baach. However, fatigued pilots could impact travel.
