There are dumbass CA,FOs,FA,gate agents,etc all over. You kill them with firm unwavering kindness. Kindness rooted in the certainty of who you are, the resources you have, and staunch belief in safety first.

I have zero doubt by the way you comport yourself here that you are the common denominator in 90% of your conflicts. I’ve had zero issues with FOs acting up here at delta. I’m proud to fly with every guy/gal thus far. We do a great job when everyone is properly motivated with a good attitude. Try it sometime

​​​​​​Folks, this is a prime example of how a Delta Captain should represent themself, the Brand, and our Profession.

Bravo...BRAVO!!!

Scoop...can we sticky this post? 😂

Exactly this. He seems like he hates the entire future generation, hates FOs, hates any type of change, hates the union, loves wearing his hat, and feasts on far right fear porn when he's not busy worrying about what his FOs are doing.

Miserable.

Trip,

No need to sticky this. As I am sure you realize, many guys have a different "persona" on line, vice in real life. I sure both of these guys are extremely professional at work and would enjoy a beer or two together on a layover discussing College football/Boating/Fitness etc. For all the talk of crusty old Captains and crazy next generation FOs - I have rarely come across either as a FO or Capt in 24 years..................................unless, could it be, I am the A-hole? Nah - impossible.

Having said that I wish guys would tone it down a little on here - too much crap for the few Mods to keep up with.

Scoop Being Optimistic today.

Sorry scoop, I answered negativity with….negativity. I should have been better. It’s just tough to see how much hate one person can feel over literally everything. Sad really.

It is incredible how many pilots lack basic emotional intelligence. I don't care how bad things can be at home or what problems I have in my life, I NEVER bring that baggage with me to fly. When I meet my FO or CA on day one it's a nice chance to get away for 3-4 days, fly around the country and get to know a new person. Even if its the worst trip and everything is going wrong its still not my copilot's fault so instead of using them as my punching bag I am better off laughing at the absurdity together, makes for a much more tolerable experience. It's pretty sad and embarassing seeing any CA, specially those older than me, throwing a fit over the slightest inconvenience.

Yah! That’s what I was trying to say 🤭

Actually, this couldn't be further from the truth.... Well except that I do hate the union now after being thrown under the bus... again. Took awhile, but they've finally done it.

Have a wonderful Delta day
