We only want DAL to hire the best guys. Any employee at any company should want the same. Fwiw, I'm writing 2 letters for pinnacle guys. That is the only sway we have over the hiring process.
WELL SAID!
I'll be blunt: I don't think being an ALPA member should have any weight whatsoever on who gets hired. I also feel that flying for a regional carrier currently affiliated with Delta should have no bearing either.
I find the the attitude of entitlement among some regional pilots because "I'm ALPA" or because "I fly Delta passengers" offensive.
To paraphrase Scambo: I want Delta to hire the best candidates - period.
And I want them to compete on an equal footing, without the equivalent of an ALPA national negotiated airline affirmative action program.
