I'm not too worried.

Forgot to bid is exactly right here Pilot30324. I can promise you that your name and the names of those other crew members are already known. A number of folks here that fly for Delta have probably already got the IP address you used on all of your posts and that geographical data will have narrowed the list of possible folks down to a few. You'll never get interviewed here. Sadly, the others won't either. You simply couldn't risk hiring someone like you who has such disdain for the company.

Good luck at the other airlines you apply with. From reading your posts, you're going to need it.

If you're going to exercise completely poor judgement and do something totally stupid, do it AFTER you get the job you want. NOT before.

Lest the talents of Edward Snowden be utilized.

Guaranteed it won't get the traction that the stuck-mic diatribe about old FA's at SWA did a few years ago.

Other than the guy sounding like an idiot over the radio, absolutely nothing happened.
And honestly, I don't think it even phased the controller.

It was until the OP went out of his way to bring this public and it went viral. I agree that while reflecting badly on the pilot, was not that big a deal, and likely never would have risen beyond the exchange had it not been intentionally highlighted. Now someone is going to at the very least get an @ss chewing, and possibly disciplinary action, and someone who might otherwise be a decent individual might lose a shot at a job at DAL. All for 5 minutes of internet fame. Sad
