Thumbs up

Within 30 seconds the UAL pilot confidently thinking that we were all FNWA employees began to rail on the Delta culture and how the DAL pilots and FA's will always ***** about something etc etc. Before my Captain could say anything, the 320 Captain cut off this pilot and stated " that is simply not true" he politely informed him that there may be a lot everyone has got to get used to happily or unhappily but we are working it out. "maybe you should focus on your merger and see how that goes"

SO thanks to my DAL brothers for speaking up and thanks for keeping "our" squabbles in the family so to speak. It was a class act to speak up for all of us.... Thanks again!!
Very cool! Further proof that despite some dissatisfaction, this merger is going well.
