Now if they throw in some underboob, I'm at Delta in a heartbeat.
Where to start... it's not 14 year upgrades, less. 12 maybe, and remember we didn't hire from 2001 to 2007. The only time I carry the bags up or down the jetway is in neat places like Barcelona or Moscow, and they all ain't 55 years old. We just hired 1000 FAs - many are young and motivated. The routes aren't "mine" - they are what the company wants to do with them, the contact specifies who flies what. The old timers aren't grumbling about Skywest and Compass, they are complaining about Obamacare in one hand and how they can't retire because they don't have health care in the other. I've never made $40,000 at Delta - first year pay was way above that. And the smallest plane I've flown here is the 757-200. Everyone has their reasons for being where they are - I like Delta.
