What do you fly at Delta?

When I was on the 767 domestic, it would have been:

Not being a tool takes a lot of effort and wasted breath, I guess.
My certificate just says B-757/B-767, it always seemed pretty easy to just say that. If they care more, they'll ask. Most people's eyes glaze over when you get into too much detail. Mine do, I really don't give a rat's that you fly the ER (or ED) to Guatemala every third Sunday. Let's face it, most people are surprised to find out a B-757 is smaller than a B-747 (yes, Virginia it's true. I've had to explain more than once that the don't all get bigger as the numbers go up).

Now sign me up as a tool for getting so worked up about what you Del-Taco guys call yourselves!

Edit - What Pipe says below!
