I also find some (most?) of Johnson's comments unlike any person of his seniority (assuming he is actually a pilot and not someone hired by Ford/Harrison and Glen Campbell) to routinely come on here with his barrage of now over 11,000 posts, to realign peoples thinking. He just seems really out of the norm compared to all others I talk to with his seniority. Things that make you go hmmm.

Good deal.
The items were interesting, but all rumor IMHO. I won't believe it until I see it executed and happening.
Regardless, its better than speculation and rumors about fleet closures, base closures, displacements, and projected corporate losses..........

If Delta can continue to execute its business plan... Ckd
including the 717s... ON
barring an economic downturn.... Ckd & Set
or other unanticipated event.. OFF
we could begin the hiring process as early as the last quarter of this year... ARM
I remember saying, along with others, the timing was suspicious in that it came i believe a week or two after the TA was announced. If hiring was going to happen why wasn't it mentioned on day 1?
But I was chastised, of course we are going to hire.

As for the explanation that the Board doesn't want hiring... that makes perfect sense. It also makes perfect sense for SD not to take the Board for granted when he made the statement.
We all know what happened; let's put on our big-boys pants and recognize an non-binding sales argument when we see one.

Considering I find his posts rational and well thought out, that doesn't say a whole lot for a fairly sizable seniority demographic, who 6 years ago could have left and been Captains at Virgin America if they hated Delta or NWA so much. Oh what's that you say? They're making more in the right seat here?
I'm gonna start calling anyone hired between 2000-2008 the "broken promise" generation.

I'm sure your choice of comparisons warm the "hearts" of management and management wannabes.
