IronWalt,

I was a seven-year 737-800 F/O at Delta and resigned last Fall to pursue a non-aviation career. I had become thoroughly disgusted with the job and decided that my family and I would be better off by making the move early.

There are many more like me who are waiting for the right time to leave. If pushed to a strike before deciding to leave on their own, make no mistake - the Delta pilot group will simply shut the joint down.

It's a sad situation but reality has sunk in, and from what I observed many Delta flyers are wholly prepared to move on - one way or another.

Cheers and best to all,

Felix
