Before someone gets on their high horse and says those of us at DAL caused regional growth because we "were too good to fly rj's", remember, at least 1/3 of the pilots were not on property when these decisions were made. Attitudes are changing, a lot of us want to recapture that flying and correct the problems our predecessors caused.
The unprofessional attitude of this poster has no business flying DAL pax and is unacceptable. It only drives me(and hopefully others) to work harder to get that flying back.
Enjoy your new travel benefits! You're welcome for the ride, even though despise DAL.
How is it unprofessional to "follow the FOM"? The FOM wasn't designed to screw your passengers flying on our (in Pinnacle's case with the 76 seaters) airplanes.... Working as a DCI carrier is like constantly being beaten up and yet coming back for more. When Northwest was in charge, things were great for us. I want you guys to get the flying back so that there are jobs available at a higher pay, but there has got to be better ways of getting rid of the regionals, like, say, letting the contracts expire when they come due, rather than continuing to dump on the front line employees who are supposed to provide the "one level of service".
