Some of what you said I agree with.. probably more than you realize. Some I do not.
As far as how many leave, it's like Cramer says "Therer's always a bull market somewhere" You're leaving will creat a bull market here at DAL for someone else. There are thousands of qualified pilots out there that DO have DAL as their first choice.. actually I am not going to get into that argument with you. I'll let Cramer's quote speak for itself. booyah
Thanks. Same here tsquare. I also agree with some of what you say... especially the UPS/Continental like payscale idea.
You may be right about thousands of pilots who has DAL as first the choice. But DAL has definitely lost a lot of lusture in the job market. There was a time when I was bombarded by requests to walk resumes into DAL. Now, whevener I mention DAL to many of my regional friends, I am greeted with an unenthusiastic meh! For most of them, DAL is simply not appealing enough compared to the alternatives they have. And I agree with them sadly. It does hurt my ego a bit!
Of course, DAL is still attractive to many... especially folks who live in our base cities.
