My first year at UAL, I’d commute on DAL on a somewhat regular basis. And about a quarter of the time I’d have one of the guys tell me “hey you know we’re hiring”. I’d always tell them I was not from said Delta hub and was going to be moving back home to my UAL domicile. That my family was near my UAL domicile and we were only living in the Dal hub because I didn’t want to commute while at my regional with no family. Most guys would get it. But there were a few who looked beyond puzzled. And repeated I could probably get hired at DAL and eventually get based in said DAL hub. It made for an interesting conversation.
