Wonder if the DFW folks ever thought it would go down like it did a year or two prior??
I thought long and hard about taking DTW, in the end I decided life was too short for that mess. Full of suck and I may regret it, but I am not gonna pimp myself that hard.
I feel that many at ASA will never upgrade unless they pass up opportunities to move on. I'm at 5 years and know that I will never upgrade at ASA. At 5 years I can barely hold a line in the right seat, there are 400 numbers senior to be to upgrade first. That's going to take a long long long long time with the amount of 50 seaters that we have in the Delta system, unless mgmt finds flying for them with other carriers. I made peace with that a few years ago and know I won't upgrade here because I'll move on first. Even if I'm a "majority" citizen I think most will be able to move on somewhere before an upgrade comes around here, around my seniority at least.
