Have had my app in since CFI days, constantly updating every couple months. Had United interview and TBNT back in March which I thought was my one lucky shot at being hired from the right seat and I blew it. Never expected Delta but all it takes is 1 email to change your life again. Extremely humbled and blessed for this opportunity and ready to spend the rest of my career being a part of the Delta family! For guys stuck in the right seat there is hope! Im proof of it now!

It means Shaking My Head. Probably in disbelieve or possibly disappointment.

Shaking my head.

Be happy for the dude. He obviously busted his ass in college and did very well, but got stuck at a regional with long upgrades. We should be happy for those that make it without all of the boxes checked regardless of how many boxes we have checked on our application.

SiShane

Thank you. And yes I did bust my ass. I sacrificed over 6 years in the military as lower enlisted including 3 deployment tours in the beginning of OEF and OIF in order to use my GI bill to pay for flight school and college, surviving several close calls with my life. Knocked out school in a little over 3 years to make up for lost time including getting my ratings and working part time to support a family. Got hired by great regional to only get the shaft because we stood our ground while others caved in for concessionary contracts sacrificing our growth and any chances of upgrade for me. But I stayed loyal and didn't chase upgrades and simply flew as much as I could after getting off a long reserve period. I never had any family in the industry, just was nice to everyone I flew with and kept in contact with the lucky few that went over before me. Kept my eye on the prize and the risky gamble paid off and I wanted to show everyone there are different ways to go about doing this that may require thinking a little outside the box or in the sand box in my case ha! I feel incredibly lucky and I realize there are so many other good guys that are still waiting for the call. So thank you again FLY6584!

A prior military crew chief with excellent grades and nearly 4000 hours gets a job and you're shaking your head??

No kidding. Congratulations, SiShane, and thank you for your service and sacrifice.
