Who cares about insignificant people?
"Being owned by DL" was actually one of the negatives when I researched OH. I have never looked at DAL as a place I wanted to work anyway. I guess a lot of guys come here wanting that, but not me. My list of top places I would like to work (fly) is probably much different than many of the pilots here. But hey, I wish everyone luck getting their "dream job". Really, given the choice, I'd rather just have money and not work at all!
People forget, especially the career regional guys, that you are supposed to look at any regional as a place to work, until you can move on. A few years....then move on (unless this is your "dream job").
