Understand your friend feels he's a better qualified candidate, or better applicant. He probably is.

The "other guy" has already been working for Delta as a pilot who flies Delta passengers, just not in the same division as us. The "other guy" is also an ALPA member.

ALPA's priorities should be ... (you fill in the blank). Or in other words, what flying position does my Delta experience entitle me to in the Navy, over a current Navy pilot?

The needs help comments applied to Delta's fleet only with the stupid seating we had. That's been now fixed with bringing the seating up to where it should have been relative to its size.
The worldwide airline market has spoken again and again. The 777 is a mega hit for Boeing and May well turn out to be the single most successful airliner ever built.

If the interviews were the same why didn't the cpz interviewees just go to NWA? Answer: because they were not the same.

The Academy graduate is presumably better educated but certainly not better skilled. I do hope he/she doesn't think they are the anointed ones just because they are an Academy graduate.

When the time comes, I wish the Academy graduate luck during the interview process and hopefully if they pass, then I would look forward to sharing the flight deck with him/her.

So a DCI guy flies pax from somewhere to ATL for Delta to fly on, does that mean a C-17 pilot who flies troops from Afghanistan to Qatar where Delta picks them up to fly home is also a DCI pilot?

Ok for all our resident contract experts I have a couple of questions.

1. Do new hires get paid per diem for the observation flights and OE trips?

2. Does the positive space perk for training apply to OE trips?

There seem to be a lot of answers out there to these questions both ways. For bonus points where exactly can I find this in the contract? Thanks all!
