Thanks for that bit of information about Delta. I'll keep that in mind.

Thank you. If I can't find the answer on my own, I'll send you a PM. Promise not to bombard your inbox.

I came from a military/construction background as well and, if anything, it gives a lot of common-ground stuff to talk about... I wouldn't worry about 'being looked down on,' because in my (albeit limited) experience, the most despised pilots are the ones with superiority complexes because of where they came from.
Good to hear someone's personal experience with a similar background. Thank you.
