All correct.

It absolutely is not DAL South's fault. I don't recall a single poster who said it was.

I don't think it's South vs North...I never have. This is only about a very few number of Southies posting patently incorrect things about the North's contract and thus coming to patently false conclusions. I've chosen to state the actual facts as opposed to just ignoring the falsehoods. Again, it's not North vs South it's just correct vs incorrect.

Absolutely correct

Because a small portion of South guys have a need to post incorrect things about the old North group. After experiencing both companies, my conclusion is that we are very similar. Similarly substandard contracts, similarly superior pilots, similar aspirations for the future. Neither side was superior to the other IMO.
