You would think.....BUT,, I fly with guys that are complete life disasters quite frequently.. They could not hold a job as a Walmart cashier. The only reason they make the money they do is because they can pilot an airplane...that's it! Zero ability to interact with with people, Multiple divorces, kids hate them, etc. Not all, but I would say a good 25%. To be honest, I was surprised at how many trainwrecks I have flown with only being with the airline for 15 months. With that being said, they have treated me well and are solid pilots, but I am not sure they could easily bring in capt pay in another industry.
Not sure what your pre-Delta background is, and I honestly don't care, but you might want to wind the clock and think twice before you decide to criticize your co-workers on a public forum.

Maybe it's just me, but I think you're way out of line. I've been here a whole lot longer than you and, with a very few exceptions, I've found the people I've flown with to be professional, competent, intelligent, and basically enjoyable to fly with.

Well I didn't call anyone out by name, so come on dude,chill. I am just stating what I have seen. A capt get in a shouting match with a ramper during a push that was so loud it could be heard through the cockpit door. Different guy literally making fun of passengers to their face and talking down to FAs. Certainly not the majority, and all have been great to me. I am just saying those are not qualities I would want when I hire for a 250k+ a year job. Not every capt could make it outside of flying. Not even close.
Sounds eerily like the "gold bug"!
Capt. "wing-ding"......
