Definitely taking the job at DAL and not looking back. I just had a conversation with a buddy who has been hired by both DAL and AA, and he has a very tough decision to make, I don't envy him! My buddy at UAL told me he wanted AA when he was hired back in 2000, and 2 of his other buddies wanted UAL and DAL respectively. In the end, all 3 got hired, but not by their dream airline, and never got a call to interview by their #1, but they learned to love where theyre at (despite the furloughs).

I couldn't be happier about the idea of working for DAL. Like slice said, theyre the industry leader, they have a great culture, and my seniority in NYC will skyrocket. I was so impressed with how professional and nice everyone was in Atlanta, I was sold! Sometimes we inadvertently find ourselves in a position that ends up benefiting us more than we thought

And as a bonus, Im excited to wear the ALPA pin!
