I know, I know, 777's aren't a "great fit for Delta." But they sure seem to be a great fit for our competitors (and our Skyteam partners.)
Face it, most guys hired today -- unless they're under 35 -- will retire as 737/320A's.
While this is all I expect of my future, I want more for these new hire FOs. They deserve more. Apparently, Delta mgmt doesn't seem to care and it's beginning to look like UA and AA is the place to be for those with apps in now. Sad, considering how profitable Delta is compared to UA and AA...
