Clearly I hit a nerve. If you've flown with me, one thing you'd realize very quickly is that I don't sit on a pedestal. We are all a fraction of a second away from being humbled on a daily basis, in many different ways.
You did hit a nerve. I’ve heard of complaints about flow pilots, but to paint a broad brush over all of the DCI pilots is extreme. You backpedaled by blaming a line check pilot and then explained your own position “off” your pedestal. That sits with me like the guy that starts each trip with the “I’m very laid back” speech. If you have to say it, it ain’t true. In the event that you didn’t know, DCI covers every pilot who flies Delta Connection. Not a specific group or company. Whatever your beef is with flow pilots or guaranteed interview pilots, maybe you should at least arrange your b$&@hing with some facts before you let loose. Gains you some credibility and what not..
