Obviously your reserve. You don't get out much. I guess you haven't been keeping up on current events. However, I've only been put on nofly list once. Wont say how I know but it was a female who never flew the line with me. Fact.

Ive always been respectful to all in the cockpit. Like always, there may be a few pilots in the stone ages, but I haven't been one of them. But don't believe me. The web boards are really just a way for the few to get their rocks off. But going back to the thread intent for the original poster, al lot of these pilots are deep enough that a seniority number shift isn't worth the work. So again, you'd be better off with Delta or United.

I’m guessing that kid will retire extremely senior so… probably worth it?

Enjoy your Air Force 04/05 retirement, buy a luscomb, start a YouTube channel, and enjoy being self employed. The airline shiny jet life isn’t worth the headache at the moment. If you do make a deal with the devil, the implied message is have a backup second/third career as we all go thru this crap again and who knows what’ll happen when you get furloughed at either AA or DL. My 2 cents- Go FedEx, UPS, or ACMI. Best of luck.

Suggesting someone go to ACMI when the thread is about AA vs DL seems wildly off topic

It’s a very rough 32 minute drive without traffic, maybe 60 on the worst of traffic days. I get some pretty good trips that commuters won’t touch due to early reports, but it’s worth it for the transcons. I’m a morning guy too. The Airbus is pretty comfy for an rj. Thanks for asking!

Yep. ACMIs have never gone out of business or furloughed! (sarcasm)

IF one has CJO’s at AAG or DL then Purple or Brown aren’t out of reach. They pay more to work less, same intl flying if not better, and boxes don’t complain.

One that often gets overlooked is travel privileges if you're a commuter. American is based on time of check in, Delta is seniority based, so that could make a huge difference on your quality of life.
