What are you talking about? I'm a realist and at times even a company cheerleader. Its a great place to be and a bright future for new hires and I say that constantly. I just don't get the "Paris first class international" bug that some new hires have WRT being super junior on the ER. I can see the appeal from a populist crew room banter point of view at another airline, but like I said there are many very good reasons that the junior part of an otherwise great plane with over all good flying is forced to the bottom of the list because no one else at the company wants to be junior in the right seat of it.

Like I said, someone has to do it, so if someone gets it there is more than enough to make the best of and its only a one year lock anyway. But if you have a choice, why would anyone choose something 12000 other pilots with an inside look at things have said "no way"? Which, by the way, is literally very represenative of what you will find when you fly the line at Delta, contrary to what you asserted.

I never said it was the worst job in aviation, and I can pretty much guarantee any seat at any base in the fleet here is better than where he's coming from by a country mile.
