Ok..Here it goes..

I flew at ASA and flew with Joe Merchant several times on that ATR that I loved so dearly. I am at Delta and can say that being junior at Delta is hands down better than being senior at ASA. I have done both. I truly enjoyed flying with Joe. He got alot of caught alot of SH!t from alot people for rebelling against ALPA and the ASA MEC. He is full of so much information and was truly impressed with his views at that time..

I can also attest to this fact which I am guilty for..

When you are a junior FO at ASA you want as much flying to go to ASA as Delta will give. It meant more lines more planes greater schedule. At that time, I really didn't understand the fact that Delta pilots would be hurt in the long run....

Now Fast forward........

I am at Delta(Dreams do come true), and I wish we did more flying, wish more hiring, wish for more planes..for the greater good of Delta. Plus, I have alot of friends that I would love to see get the same opportunity at Delta.

I know my roots and I would love to see ASA do well, but not at the expense of Delta Pilots..

Joe Merchant..I got nuttin but love for ya and I understand you. Aside from Management and shceduling, ASA was great place to work.

Ok...done now!!!
