Ok, so back to NOW.

Gumm’s promotion is bad news for the pilot group, and only a 4th floor sycophant could think this is a good thing.

And we’ve seen and continue to see who those people are.

I’m honestly surprised any of you are shocked by Trip7’s attitude on this change.

He’s always been suspect, this is totally in line with what character he has.

Tell me you're out of touch with virtually every other Delta pilot without telling me you're out of touch....

Gumm's influence on operations resulted in the biggest QOL loss since I've been here (2016). You're out of touch/clueless/obtuse...pick your label.

Why? He always has an angle, completely unaware of his actual reputation. Surprised it took so long.

Typical APCer response to an opposing view.... must be trying to be in management. Only thing I'm trying to climb is the mountain to Financial Freedom. I'm a fan of competent management along with a strong Union that provides checks and balances. Personally I've seen no evidence the Gumm is the "bogeyman" and will not jump on the blame him for everything bandwagon that started with the "Optimizer" rumors.

Mainline pilots wanted RJ flying in house for years and we got it with alot more coming.

We didn’t want their schedules and low QOL. I have no doubt more is coming. Wake up man.

Seriously?
Everything this guy touches turns to crap….”competent mgt” is the last thing I’d say about this empty suit.

And now we're getting a recycled guy back, with a promotion. A guy so out of touch he mocked us for being stupid enough to trust them on SILs during covid. Who ran our QOL into the ground. On what planet is this good for pilots? Delta management is a case study in the Peter Principle.

Dude showed up and upgrades himself to ER captain, thousands of numbers out of seniority. Put himself on the the D-Day flight last year, thousands of numbers out of seniority. This dude's ego is as big as his regard for line pilots is small.

us.

Best summary yet…..

I'll bite. I don't know anything about RG other than "he's the guy that we hired from the regionals that brought the optimizer and destroyed our trips and turned them into the pseudo-regional hellscape we live in now". If he isn't that, I wanna hear your counter argument.
