It looks like Finessed has been banned thankfully. I came back to search his posts because I honestly don’t think he’s a Delta pilot and wanted to verify. Being a Delta Pilot myself, I was honestly completely embarrassed by the way he was talking to you all. It’s been troubling me the last 2 days, but I’m about 90% sure he isn’t one of us. I know Delta Pilots catch quite a bit of crap in the industry for various reasons. Some of it might be deserved, but I haven’t witnessed the behaviors that most of the ridicule points to.

Having said that, no decent person wants to see any of you suffer a job loss or BK. I went through it in 2000 with thousands of others, and don’t want it to happen again to anyone. I really think things will pick up by summer and we will all escape this mess well before going through the BK wringer again. And as has been said before, if AA does go BK, we will all be right behind you all. The media needs to write something others want to read, and unfortunately, people like Finessed like to read and talk about the misfortune of others, so that’s what they write about, whether they know what they’re talking about or not...doesn’t matter.

I think finessed works for an AA subsidiary and hasn’t or can’t flow. Or has been rejected by AA for psychological reasons and has an axe to grind. Maybe he works for Mesa or someone who doesn’t have a flow.

Please don’t let his behavior affect your view of Delta Pilots. We are a pretty decent bunch, and no one I’ve spoken to has any hopes of things going south for you guys. We are too busy talking about hat size, or our double breasted jacket size. That’s pretty much all we talk about. Oh, we also talk a lot about the importance of wind checks and the difference between light chop and light turbulence. :-)
