The give away that this is about to happen: When he asks what you did before coming to Delta within 30 seconds of meeting one another in the cockpit.
Went to The Academy. What Springs? No, The Academy in Sanford, FL. You know, the Comair Academy, but don't worry its just a friendly rivalry with our peers from Embry Riddle; we all pretty much get hired wherever we want these days. Anyway I paid extra for the fast track program so I didn't have to instruct. Had to do 2 years in the right seat of an RJ before the guaranteed flow kicked in cause we weren't hiring. Pretty much screwed me out of 2 years seniority, you know? Then I had to do 6 months on reserve, it was brutal I was getting lots of 5 day trips I felt like I was being deployed, you know? Its not too bad though if you commute by choice and just sick out if your one flight is going to be late or whatever. So what fraternity did you say you were in?
