If I were a new hire I would be happy one can become a Capt in 3 Months at a Legacy Airline (delta) ...and not 15 years like it was for many of us...or 22 years like my TWA friends. The only reason DL agreed to such a high % of PS is that between 1966 to 2005 you would have to be smoking crack to think we could be making 5 billion in profit per year.
