And best of all, I may be on reserve next month out of ATL as skywest takes over that base. All for ice cream sandwiches and rotten egg/turkey “crew meals” that aren’t even stocked half the time. Our management has failed us.
I flew for 9E for 5 and a half years. Kept my foot on the gas the whole time. LCA, Mentor, Volunteer, FAA work, you name it. When I interviewed with Delta I felt like it went well. Lots of smiles and handshakes, at the end of the interview I showed them a Certificate given to me when I was a little kid by a Delta Captain on my first flight. I told them I wanted to be a part of a team like that, that can inspire and build people up. 5 minutes later they sent me walking down Virginia ave early.
Sentiment, work ethic, attitude, means nothing to that company when they see Endeavor on the app. They’re hiring any and everyone except you. We’re in the biggest hiring wave in history and there was no way in hell I was sticking around to add to profit sharing I don’t see, for a company that doesn’t want me, to lose 30 spots seniority a week for multiple years. Every month you stay is another 100 spots at another great company.
