We still laugh about that, he walked into my house a few weeks back for a Christmas party, looked at me and said, “Even if we get Delta plus a percent, I could still never afford your house.” No one knows! I am confident, everyone can find happiness at any airline, especially living in one’s base! Maybe you find fortune in this life, I sincerely hope you all find happiness instead.
Gig Harbor was a lot cheaper back in the day than it is now, so I get it.
When DAL gets a profit sharing check, it puts ours to shame. They’ll make what you made in three years, in one. Hard for you to believe I’m sure.
OTZSeagull, all you talk about is your fortune. Not everyone is on instructor pay and picks up premium all the time. Some even commute. Which at this airline isn’t a word. Compare your paycheck with a DAL Captain at the same year. Yes, even on a wide-body since you leave that out, and tell me how many days off the difference is. It’s astounding. But you’ll say it’s not.
You finally said one thing I agree with. “No one knows.” Just like you don’t. So let’s stop with all the rumors and the “it’s all roses” tactic, and remember what you just said. I thought we were supposed to hear some major changes coming? “No one knows.”
