[QUOTE=tsquare;1078668]I couldn't care less if you leave or stay. It's up to you. If you want the money so bad.. and it really is that much better.... then go. Nobody here is gonna stop you. As a matter of fact, I am sure there are a few guys junior to you that would be happy to see you leave too, just as you would those senior to you. Get the type... go to SWA.. make lots of money.. be happy. I'm guessing you won't crack the top 50% there for at least as long as here too.. Same grass.. different septic tank.

Oh, and I think that DAL IS the premier place to work. Life is not all about the money.


T,

DAL was the premier place to work and might still be for some Captains, but is probably not for most FO's anymore. One thing is for sure - if DAL does not want to "invest" in labor, specifically pilots, the days of DAL being guys first choice are over.

Sure we may have 12,000 applications on file but when FDX, SWA, UPS etc are all hiring at the same time as Delta, we will be getting their leftovers. At my former military squadrons guys all want SWA, FDX, UPS, as their first choice. The guys will all come to DAL ........ if they cant get on at any of these. It does not have to be this way and this next contract will be telling.

Along these lines - If the DAL pilots, meaning us, keep doing a bang up job and giving 110% under our basically BK contract - Why should the company invest in us? They will not "invest" in us unless it gains them something.
