Simply, we, as an industry leading and world leading pilot group need to overcome the temptation to be greedy at the expense of our own. I'm no longer a new hire and I see things much more clearly. We eat our young and management loves it. I don't really aspire to get involved with the union but I'll be damned if I'll continue to watch our current mode of business to continue.

A lot of you like to bag on Carl. I get it. But, you know, Carl, a senior dude, gets it way more than most of you. Delta pilots, IMHO, are self-absorbed and selfish. Why would I naturally be fraternally connected to that?
