None of that is a south guy's fault, and none of us are saying that.

Carl,
Welcome to the land of molasses - Delta (no matter how many prior/former/experience, etc. etc. former NWA guys/pilots/management (RA included) has always moved at the pace of a southern drawl! That is culture and even outsiders (pilots, anyone else that moves to Mecca) ends getting the "frontal lobotomy" we used to kid about that 0-6s in the military received when they pinned on their eagles. Believe me, I know ALL of us would love to see anything that makes our job easier and better. I REALLY, REALLY wish that we start seeing some of them.
Always remember that we just lived through the MOST successful, LARGEST airline merger EVER. Sure don't see (ever hopeful) much to see in the new UAL to mirror what we accomplished due to the great people at both airlines that merged.
Tip of a hat to us!
