It will help with my context. To help you with mine: I was former mil pilot, former ASA/Express jet pilot, and now a Delta pilot.
No one is blaming EDV pilots, where did we ever say that? What we did say was that them getting S3A for non-rev - to include sig others and dependents - over our retirees is wrong. Them getting S3A to get too work is fine. IMHO we should look at seeing what we can do as a union to rectify that. Maybe something comes of it, maybe not. All Cog is asking is we try. That is a fair request.
First off, no one reading your posts here needs your background. Of course youre a mil pilot. Whatever time you spent at ASA actually flying or commuting clearly wasn't much. Either you pushed papers full time at your reserve mil job waiting for mainline to call or you were called so quickly to mainline you can't even tell me which lever on the RJ seats stops the belts.
There's so much wrong with the rest of this I'm not gonna try. Why? Because you ignore what people do to inform you and then pretend another conversation is going on. There's nothing humble or informed about any of your opinions and that's the pushback you're getting here. The reader may decide which of us is right. Exactly no one is fooled. You're wrong because you're misinformed. Your continued crap posting on here confirms what everyone thought about you BEFORE they politely responded the first time.
I got positive space continuously for months on the old benefits before Delta changed them, as did many others when I was at EDV. When at Delta, I don't have trouble getting on, I still haven't had to use positive space at Delta while commuting to the SAME airport. I can't help how far behind you are in understanding. I can't help your tone. I can't pretend I'm the only guy on this thread, telling you to stop your pilot bashing, but maybe you can tell them to act professional for the 8th or 10th time. Unscrew your head out of your posterior and move onto another thread.
Don't give regional guys a lecture on professionalism or work ethic. These guys outwork you every time they step in an airplane and most of them get similar letters of thanks from passengers and NPS scores. I still have some of mine. They have no support, little technology, and until somewhat recently they couldn't even trust the paperwork could be printed out by the gate or Ops because of a Delta system problem with our NOTAMs. No one even addressed it for a couple days because we just handled it. They should have medals for how hard they work to get passengers and/or jumpseaters on last minute in the -200. I love my mainline job, I do, but we don't do anything at Delta. Even when I think about helping some captain will tell me, "No man, XXXXX does that. Just wait to be told what to do". No one from any regional, never mind guys at EDV, need a work ethic/professional talk from you.
