It has to be, because their pay is improving and they called me for an interview. Once I'm in class, will I leave for another airline? No, I'm committed. I saw a lot of people jump ship in the 90s from airline to airline and it worked out for one 1 person (twa to aa). The legacies are soon to be all sitting in the same boat pay parity-wise, so really if you look at pilot-mgt relations, that puts DAL ahead of the others. Yes, I do realize I'm expendable. My chief pilot reminds us that all the time
Ghillis,

You'll fit right in. Your only adjustment will be a decrease in trip quality...ymmv, you may love mad dog trips.

Good luck hope you get an invite to the suck.
