I was hired in '08 - I'm very happy to be here at Delta, it's a great place to work. I think some of the angst from people of our "Delta generation" is that some of the other posters here are talking about how great the AEs are and how we're succeeding careerwise - but the junior pilots aren't seeing that. Personally, I'm like 80 and moving back in my category and constantly worried about displacement. Also, I earned less in 2012 than I did in 2011 (and that's with the contract improvements!)

Now, I will say we've weathered a significant problems with the economy that allowed profit sharing and no furloughs. I just wish that some of the rosy views from Sailing and others would come true and we'd make more money than a previous year and not go backward in category or get displaced.
