"Yeah? Where did he come from?"
"Endeavor."
"Well JB is not exactly Endeavor." - now it's fun time:
" I have an aversion to a company that pays outs tons in profit sharing but can't give a hotel room to new hires. That's a deal breaker for me. And it's gotta be 500 thread count or better sheets. And we like each other at JB. And money is not a factor for me because I own a medicinal cannabis clinic."
Blank stare.
"Besides, what's so great about Delta?"
Anger. Resentment. Walks off.

I was just busting b@//s but he was really offended I had the audacity to not apply...
What is it with Delta guys?
Had the same thing happen a couple years ago, we were in the same van. (shocking they would share with us)They got in and the Captain said hey guys we are hiring soon get your apps ready. When we got out I told him we were hiring now and I could walk his stuff in since we were heading to JFK. His FO cracked up, him not so much.
Look, I get it maybe they were trying to help in their own way but please don't ask me unless I ask you. I just find it slightly (shall we say) uncouth
