My car is older than that.

Blind devotion to a job/company works for some, but if you aren't trying to better your circumstances, you might as well be a robot, IMHO. I expect it to be tough wrt commutes and reserve, what I'm trying to figure out is how to make that time the shortest possible!
Just to add, I'm LAX-based and located. I love being at Delta. It shouldn't take you too long to get here. Good luck!

Here's the thing, the biz is based on where the "folks" be, the bases will change accordingly. Twenty years ago, DAL had a whole different set of domiciles....Careful where you nail your hook, 'ceptin ATL of course......

Probably true, however, I just returned from LGA today, the ride from "D" to "A" couldn't be more depressing.

I dunno, you'd have to ask in 40.5 years. But given the extremely young age in this competitive environment, I'd say he's sitting in a pretty good spot.

Plus, I can't imagine wanting to do this for 40.5 years.
