You assume Delta is just a phone call away. It's not.
That's because he's working at Delta. He assumes that because he found the golden ticket its out there for everybody. It isn't. That's the delusion virtually everyone here on APC labors under.

Face it, pal. You made it to the top of the commercial airline pyramid. There a thousands of pilots below you who will never be where you are no matter how many hundreds of pilots DAL hires in the next few years.
Someone is out there flying for regionals and crappy LCCs. Why they can't make to to the Borg is a mystery. But this place lives on the illusion that all they have to do is get 1000 TPIC and Delta/FedEx/UPS/AA/UCAL/Alaska/Hawaiian will be sending them a welcome aboard letter.
I've seen more than a few highly qualified military and civilian aviators get the TBNT letter. Why? Who knows. Maybe they didn't sit in the rocking chair. Whatever.
