Seeing Compass and Mesaba get sold off was like watching your best friends get the last two seats on the Titanic's lifeboat.

Life isn't always fair. Wasn't saying it was right or wrong, simply stating what happened. As for Michigan State or Western Michigan, I obviously forgot to type the West when looking at a small phone screen, who cares? This example just goes to show you that Delta and all management do not like the idea of a flow, or guaranteed job without an interview, or whatever the hell you want to call it.

As for this, did i offer an opinion on the guy? No, I did not. See, this is what happens when you ASSume things. I'm sure he was a great guy, but in the eyes of Menke and Delta management, not the image they wanted to convey to the public. It's not my view, it's theirs.

It ended? Huh?
Sounds like the guy had a waiver/SODA for his first class medical. He is qualified as far as medical goes. Eagle had a pilot lose both his legs in a Mount Everest accident, he got prosthetics and flew the ERJ.
Who are YOU to end a pilots career even if he his qualified with a first class medical with the appropriate waiver/SODA? Sounds like a lawsuit waiting to happen if any CEO agrees to stop hiring pilots with first class medicals with waivers/SODAs.
I don't have any missing body parts, but I do have a SODA for a certain condition. The condition is pretty much gone but I still have the SODA. And a regular first class medical certificate. I have not been discriminated on that.

And congratulations on your SODA, you're special, but I'm sure your mommy told you that all throughout your childhood.

Not sure what you have against pilots who fight hard to overcome medical obstacles presented in their paths, but I suppose to each his own.

However, the whole non interview thing from WMU was just downright stupid on 9E's part. 9E screening is pretty minimal, but at least it was something.

Actually, what you state doesn't add up. At first you said Menke, then brought DL mgmt into it... a guy that has a SODA and functions normally would not be fired for that reason. I'm not buying it. That is asking for a multi-million dollar lawsuit.
