No pilot that I have ever spoken to is "mad" at the Comair pilots due to their strike. In fact we admired their fortitude, and in fact every Delta flight I flew during the entire strike I ensured was not in any way a sort of extra section or upgrade of equipment so as to somehow give mgmt a tool to lessen the strike's impact. We even had a booklet printed and issued by our Strike Committee detailing the steps we should take to review such flying.

However, how do you expect DAL pilots to feel when:

a. The Comair MEC unilaterally petitions ALPA national to get on our seniority list (and at least some assumed that their Comair DOH would transfer over, giving an RJ captain an instant 767 left seat).

b. The Comair MEC leadership explicitly rejected the idea of furloughed DAL pilots flying for Comair at the bottom of the seniority list unless they resigned their DAL seniority.

c. Comair pilots were leading proponents of RJDC nonsense.

d. Now "Joe Merchant" STILL thinks that a Comair pilot should get hired at DAL with his Comair DOH used for "bidding purposes"?....

And ya'll wonder?
