Let me be the first to extend a "welcome aboard." If it were up to me your longevity would have begun with your Compass DOH.

I'm surprised Delta lets other airline management choose their pilots. My guess is that if anyone has a problem meeting minimums, it might be Mesaba and then I'm only guessing based on the fact that while they were being whipsawed around the portfolio by management they had some pretty dark days and were rarely anyone's first choice for a place to work. For the most part the DCI guys are doing very similar flying to what the junior pilots on narrow body equipment at perform and in many cases, it is the exact same flying.

In a better world, Delta would hire Delta pilots to perform Delta flying.

To the extent that we recover that flying and the pilots who perform it, you are very welcome on the team.
