Well Bob! I guess I'm just not Delta material.

I guess the requirements are that I land on a taxiway or do an overhead break at the outer marker at a 50 degree bank dropping gear and flaps because I believe that is the best way to manage my energy or miss a mountain top in MSO by RA of 500' because I don't follow missed approach procedures or Go missed approach and blow thru my max flaps speeds by just a bit " like in excess of 320kts worth" and rip a slat off the aircraft. Should I go on???? Fricken pompous ass Delta pilots think their sh$t don't stink.. Self congregatory Captains that think they saved the day "lucky they were Mil guys" or it woulda been lost attitude pukes.

So F$ck the SSP interview team, F$ck Deltas and f$ck you!

Lol Bob, you are really are clueless just like your management.

I'll remember what kind of loser I am when I am flying you guys from work to home or vice versa.

I'll remember that I'm a loser the next time some jack wagon thinks they are too good to ask for my jumpseat.

I'll remember what kind of loser I am when your families are riding on my aircraft.

Yup, we fly 52% of domestic flying, us losers will likely fly your ass someday.

I have been a professional and dedicated pilot for this company with over 14000 accident free hours and over 8800 uneventful part 121 flights, a former check pilot and mentor to many FO's

Have you ever flown a 1000 hrs in a year Bob? How about sleeping on a pallet covered with a sleeping bag? How about hanging out several hours in an abandoned rat infested radio repair shop awaiting your freight shipment?

How about a 41% loss of pay for the next 8 yrs and in order to get the group to sign the contract dangle a piece of **** SSP in front of them? Now the EtD! Nah!

Am I bitter and ****ed off?

Yup you can say that!

That's unfortunate. I think I'm going to be against the idea of an ab initio program for Delta pilots with mentoring by someone with his attitude.

I would like to support ALPA's concept, but, the reality is that the Pinnacle Bridge Agreement which was authorized and ratified despite violations of ALPA's Admin Manual, the C&BL and Delta PWA has created a monster.

The level of crew room anxiety was not this high when Comair 5191 happened. Hope those guys stay focused.

IB,

I am sympathetic to the problem. I have been earnestly trying both on my side and on your side to prevent this situation devolving as it has. The hinge point (and the problem for the Endeavor MEC) is going to be trying to get out of the Bridge Agreement. They might be able to do it.

FR8TDWG has a point. I do not agree with the way he presents his point, but even a level headed guy would be angry if their new hires had better employment rights than they had.
