Yeah thanks.
I hear a lot of good things from Delta pilots. I think it’s just a different culture of “this is cool, I like it here, let’s get the job done.” And the caricature at AAL is complaining, skeptical of management, and protecting old scars from less than optimal mergers. I think in reality they’re a lot closer to the same thing than people generally pick up. So, not sure if it would be worth the jump to Delta. But it may be.

Is it normal for 717 ALV to be around 80? Saw it around there in October as well. Noticed the ER ALV dropped down to 72 next month (heard that it drops in winter)

That said I still feel we have a better culture than AA. Is that a major reason to leave there? Probably not, but to each their own.

Thanks Scoop
