Here is a funny thought, the captain may have also been turned down by DAL at his interview. Not really funny to him but I would expect the same result, that is being professional and helpful to you and customers. The real irony is DAL is turning down the very people that that should be going to DAL. Of course you will hear the usual lame excuse of protecting the Delta brand. What is the brand anyway but a conglomeration of DAL, Western, NWA and others that our now one company. Out of all the pilots at DAL I wonder how many would also be offered jobs at DAL if they had to go through all the exact same procedures they are requiring Endeavor and other pilots to do now. Now wait for the Delta peps to come and say how everything they do is the right way as they can never do any wrong. Listening to them sometimes makes me feel I'm watching an old episode of Star Trek when a Borg is speaking.
