I say get all information from all sources you can. There are plenty of experienced folks here on this board that can and are more than willing to help.
I have heard stories from my mentees that mirror your friend's experience with theirs. That really bums me out because a good/bad mentor can set the tone for a new hire's career.

I tell my mentees I don't have all the answers and to trust but verify even what I tell them. That hopefully forces them to dig into the manuals, documents, and PWA so they learn to become more self-sufficient.

Happy belated birthday, L&G Delta thread! 10 years old yesterday. Where does the time go?

Best of luck.
I'm not trying to drop or swap anything....was just pointing out I se no reason we can't pick up a trip over top of the APD day/days. I'm sure the company would be happy for you to burn an APD only to pick up a trip on the same days. Oh well.

Old timers will remember.

This thread really took off with ACL65 and his "dot-connecting".

Then there was the overnight Clampshow. (before 80kts became a dad)

I think the first bunny was posted by FTB.

The first underboob by SuperPilot.

The rest is history.

This place was pretty much the origin of social media insurgency among Delta pilots.
Chit-chat and Facebook followed.

Where's that honey badger mad dog post?

Happy Anniversary and Long Live APC L&G! This place has helped many make sense of the mosh-pit that is the airline industry and life at DL!

Dudes, anyone know if there is an accepted norm for when you can call to be released early from short call? Sorry in advance if it's in the pwa, I'm on the road...phone only ops at the moment
