All the times I’ve been on the jump of the 717, 73, or old Mad dogs it was a good experience. So I dunno, Delta sure seems to have some odd balls in proportion to other carriers.
ATL 757/767 seems to have some odd characters (including one who made a FB post shaming an FO for calling fatigue.) . I think base and/or longevity is a better predictor of outcome on that front. All the DTW and NYC guys I JSsd on and flew with were chill. ATL can be hit or miss.
