Delta doesn’t care about any of us. They’ll furlough in a second if they have to and not think twice. This is just a job. Show up. Do your thing. Go home. The worst people here are the ones who make working here part of their personal identity. You all know exactly the type I’m talking about.
If they aren’t willing to abide by the deal they agreed to and if they expect me to go to work and go above and beyond what’s required in our manuals then they are sorely mistaken. This is no different than any other job. Treat me well, I’ll go the extra mile for you and your company. Don’t and I won’t.
There’s a lot about the pilot culture here that has changed and will continue to change. For the better in my opinion. Delta (and the whole industry) is hiring predominantly civilian pilots now. And a whole bunch of us (the 300-500 hours of turbine time phenomenas notwithstanding) have spent 5-10 years at the regionals getting absolutely crapped on. Furloughed. Generally mistreated. We know this is just a job. It’s a good job, but it’s just a job. Why do extra for a company that won’t do extra for you?
