The Derg is a Delta Captain that runs his own website "mentoring" his "boys" who are mostly CFIs and regional pilots.

He entices them with photos of him when he was an ER f/o of the exotic layovers and lavish crew meals. The "boys" fall at the Derg's knees wanting to be the first in line to kiss his ring in hopes that he'll bless them with a rec to DAL. Pretty creepy actually.
