I personally have qite a few good friends at DAL, they are good people. Others stating their opinion whether true or not especially Mr. MDPilot shows the inmaturity, unprofessionalism and animosity that airlines need to get over. It is absurd to hold a grudge towards a group of pilots as a whole on what an MEC does, especially years ago. This statement that MEC represents is true but does that permit any individual because of disagreement of policy or bylaw to go in there and say, you're outta here!" That is absurd. No airline is perfect and we are ALL fighting an industry...(management) for the same reasons, pay QOL etc...but yet we have a rivalry towards our own. Childish, deal with it and move on. Dakavich I believe is right on in his statement. My advice, do what is best for yourself an family, whether Comair or anyone else and do not worry about whether DAL or any other airline will hire. If the very few DAL pilots have a problem with Comair, so what, I sure won't lose sleep over it and if they truely do not want me there because I worked for Comair, believe me I do not and will work for such a childish group. Very simple. The wholething is just ridiculous, and a waste of my time. Many choices out there, I have been furloughed as well in past, I know what its like. I fly because I enjoy to fly, and treat others with respect for A: being a "professional" brother PILOT, and B: just for being a nice guy. I dont give a hoot what uniform you wear. But show me the childish attitude, "I dont like you caue you're with this airline", or worse yet, "I hope they liquidate you guys" as stated by MRMD PILOT < I will be the first one escorting you off my airplane. We as professionals have worked hard, and ALL have had their sufferings at there respective airlines. Don't spread your troubles on to me. I do not need it or want it. Ok thats my piece on how I feel. I apologize for going on an on but I had to vent. Been flying for 16years and four airlines and I am sick of the minorities out there with the attitude like MR. MDPILOT for DAL. DAL has great people, but the few knuckleheads sure know how to bring that airline down. Guess we all have those kinds though. Foster do what you feel is best, take everything with a grain of salt and do NOT listen to the few on a message board that have an opinion on what their respective airline is doing. Unless they are actually in the hiring committe which I highly doubt, their claim or opinions are baseless. They may have their opinion onhow they feel on Comair but have as much of a say as I do on who gets hired, which my friend is none.
