Reading about flows is a lot like watching Mark Sanchez playing quarterback.

It's a bit of a train wreck.

Looked for a picture of Mr. Sanchez and ended up finding a picture of a rumored girlfriend. An Auburn girl who denied it.

I'll post that picture instead.

We are beating a dead horse. There won't be a flow. Hopefully other Legacies will hire in the next six months.

With your philosophy, I hope THEY are. Good luck.

true.

the thing about the interview is they want to see your personality. Sure you can fly seventeen years at a regional with a clean record but that doesn't mean you're not a [insert colorful metaphor] that everyone hates flying with. Being a a [insert colorful metaphor] won't necessarily get you fired, but that doesn't mean you get to be hired.

my impression of Delta pilot hiring was that they wanted records to prove you're a good pilot that can pass training. No sim eval required. After that they wanted to meet you in person and see who and what you are. seems to work well.

Thank you for just reinforcing why I think you should interview at the mainline and undergo probation.

I'd be more then happy to have them bring themselves and their CRJ-900s. They can sling gear for us.

I kid, I kid.

They can retract the landing gear on command.

I wonder if you are one of those pathetic types who have DAL bag tags on your gear and brag to the passenger sitting next to you you are a DAL pilot - after making sure there are no mainline pilots within earshot?
