To answer your question, there may be some. Many Delta pilots feel animosity towards Comair pilots, even though many of them, including myself, were not even here at Comair when many of the shenanigans that (perhaps rightfully) caused the Delta pilots to feel that way toward Comair. I was not here when many of the political games of past MEC administrations were played, yet I have personally had a few "run ins" if you will with some Delta pilots, especially when trying to jumpseat. It is not all of them, mind you, but there are a few that hold a grudge and can't get over the past -- on both sides -- Comair and Delta alike.
So in short, yes, there may be some animosity from a select few.
Again, I'm not being disrespectful to any Delta pilot or Comair pilot, although I'm sure someone will try to find a way to filet me for saying this. I think the both pilot groups should move forward and get over the past shenanigans and mistakes of former MEC administrations.
Thanks for your input, but why bring Delta and Comair into a thread about US Airways?
You're talking about issues that occured between a major airline and it's regional partner. Flying V is asking about animosity between pilots who work for the same major airline, who will hold a position on the same seniority list, but are under two different CBAs in two geographically different areas for the time being.
