Premerger, someone on the DALS side said those planes were met by brass bands harkening their arrival. And the pilot uniform was different, SPWB pilots wore band leader hats and commodore shoulder boards.
The visual still tickles my funnybone when I hear it. Sorry.

See you at a north base soon.
Scambo,
Trust me. I think they could have come up with a better term. I am not defending it. It is kind of funny. But, it is a little offensive to tell one side that they should be embarrassed for anything.
Sorry to be making such a big deal out of it. But, I understand your position now. I will tread lightly when I talk about the new DAL procedures that I am now evaluating. I won't use word's like, backwards, dark ages, stupid, ridiculous, or that you guys should be embarrassed to have used them.
Both pre-merger pilot groups are a proud bunch for good reason and neither side should feel embarrassed for anything.
As you can see, I hate that word.
I look forward to seeing you in any North base. It is as much yours as it is mine. Welcome! I'll show you around, buy you a coffee, and point out where the Super Premium Widebodies park. (By the fountain in DTW and Micky D's in MSP.)
