The real liability is having a bunch of guys that were turned down by Delta still flying at an airline wholly owned by Delta. If, God forbid, we have a crash, imagine how that will play out in the media circus and court of public opinion. What do you mean Delta turned those pilots down because they failed a job knowledge/cognitive screen/psych test? That would be a PR nightmare for the ATL overlords.
Hopefully the other AA WOs follow PSAs lead. Hopefully they exceed our rates and our recruiters struggle. Then DAL might throw another carrot (banana?) our way. Until then, Jeep making your podium announcements and wear that hat. Oh yeah, latency too!
