The real DZ are the ones who spent a decade or more at a regional with the majority in the right seat making less than our FOs here paid in taxes only to get picked up here in the mid 2010s after age 40. They would probably trade an external organ for a frozen pension or PBGC instead of rolling over an embarrassing 401k from the regionals

Or those furloughed for over 5 years then getting recalled to the bottom of the list under a fresh bankruptcy contract and remain there for an additional 7 years due to age 65 and a stagnant economy.

Sorry, I thought it was sarcastic enough. I was just pointing out that nobody here owes anyone else anything. Nobody saved the company, brought it out of bankruptcy, back from covid, or made Delta profitable after the Cuban missile crisis.
We are but simple pilots who perform a job and vote on contracts.

Previously we had a mod that would do stuff like this. Thankfully he isn’t active any longer but he actively researched the regional pilots who coined the term “Captain Happy”. I’m guessing he wanted them on the no-hire list or some other such.

He also protected the “latest and greatest” thread but would kill a regional thread in a heartbeat.

A vindictive double standard. Luckily, gone now.

Chitchat actually allows free speech. You should join. Very little modera tion unless it gets waaaay out of hand. Unlike this place where only young, left ist, pro ALPA views are allowed, and narcicistic trolls quest to rack up "points" with thousands of inane, sarcastic, preachy posts under multiple accounts.

But I'm here because it's a free country, and they haven't found an excuse to kick me off yet for thought crimes.

It's also good to hear what the kids are talking about. And entertaining.

If you don't believe there are narcissists over there as well, you have your eyes closed. Often even threads that don't have anythign to do with Delta or the contract, devolve into something bad about the contract and/or a guy challening people to a bench press or stock option trading competition. Or the retired guy that changes his name every week and just hardcore trolls every thread. Nevermind the retired guy that starts a few threads a week with his pro-russian rhetoric.
