Yes I too have unfortunately learned my lesson about bases, it's all about where it's cost efficient for the company as they don't give a damn about their employees and how it affects them. As far as Delta goes, I wouldn't trust them with as far as I can throw them...as a Comair FO, we were definitely the red headed stepchild and they never let us forget it! Sometimes I think they made decisions on our block hours just to see how much they can ---- with us and than laugh at us. I know that sounds ridiculous, but that's how it feels.
I am definitely not thinking the grass is greener over at Compass and I don't want to start off at year 1 pay again, but the only regionals hiring are compass and colgan and well, enough said
