Add in the fact they we are sharply fragmented in multiple directions due to previous mergers and a completely incompetent union who only cares about the senior nAAtives. The chances of us securing a contract that's worth the paper it's written on is nill. That being said, as far as the day to day stuff goes it's a great job with lots of great people to fly. Every airline has its turn at the top but if I were a betting man, I'd say the chances of overall having a great career are much better at Delta. My only hope here is that I'll spend the majority of my career senior enough to be insulated from out terrible contracts.
