Do you really believe that the pilots at Delta care about what happens to pilots not employed by Delta? To think that Delta pilots are making a stand for those pilots that are about to take a private pilot exam, wow what gentlemen. If pilots cared about pilots at another place of employement or the "new guy" why would the Eastern, Pan AM, TWA, and Braniff, pilots not have been imediately hired by the ones left standing, with full senority?????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????????????????????????????????????????????? ???????????????????? It doesn't work the way you are trying to say it does. Pilots are like all humans greedy. This means that whatever is best for them, at the time, they will do. Human nature doesn't stop when you enter a cockpit, CRM? The Delta pilots are looking at a simple equation, am I willing to work for DAL for what they are willing to pay me? If the answer is no they will quit, or strike and vote those that are out of a job. A prime example of this is Eastern Airlines. They struck in order to honor a striking union on property, strength in numbers. Bye Bye Eastern Airlines. This industry is in a shables right now and all of us are to blame. Pointing fingers at people does no good. Trying to figure out what to do does some good. The biggest thing to overcome is human nature and the jet airplane.
