So did Pre Ball, and it's hard to picture those guys as new-hires. Ball and Dolson were hired on the same day, because Delta had just bought a new kind of airplane that used two pilots. He lost a coin flip for seniority, and had to settle for #12.

Trivia Quiz: Look at his picture, and see if there's anything unusual about the hat.

Tom, I've always noticed the Pre Ball room up on the 4th floor- sounded like a situation game room sort of thing but never tried to take a look. I never knew that was someone's name! Now I know...

Not to mention their 'me too' clause that increases their pay if we get better rates. As you know, that negates the stupid meme people keep talking about us making too much more than our peers. As if that were really likely.

Yep, and in full compliance with Delta pilot uniform standards, according to the "800 pound gorilla" rule.

I don't have to prepare. Expecting to be underwhelmed by ALPA is my expectation.
