So I'm moving the family to ATL. Where do you guys recommend living? Is peachtree city as good/bad as everyone says? Fayetteville too redneck? Roswell/Marietta too uppity? Any and all opinions and info welcome.
Background: Invader from the north looking to get into ATL soon
2 small kids that will be in the public schools in a few years. Wife's job is on the SE side of the city so we're looking to minimize her commute. Budget: FO pay, I hate big house payments 
Fire away!!!

I'm glad that you at least signed this as a rant.
None of us northies blame southies for any of this. We northies know that you guys are just line pilots like the rest of us. Mostly we're just dejected that even the smallest change takes a very long time, and that management seems to have the idea that if it wasn't invented in ATL, then it ain't happening.
None of that is a south guy's fault, and none of us are saying that.

Welcome to the land of molasses - Delta (no matter how many prior/former/experience, etc. etc. former NWA guys/pilots/management (RA included) has always moved at the pace of a southern drawl! That is culture and even outsiders (pilots, anyone else that moves to Mecca) ends getting the "frontal lobotomy" we used to kid about that 0-6s in the military received when they pinned on their eagles. Believe me, I know ALL of us would love to see anything that makes our job easier and better. I REALLY, REALLY wish that we start seeing some of them.
Always remember that we just lived through the MOST successful, LARGEST airline merger EVER. Sure don't see (ever hopeful) much to see in the new UAL to mirror what we accomplished due to the great people at both airlines that merged.
Tip of a hat to us!

Speaking of small changes, I would be happy for one. Can some north guy take those annoying rolls of paper you have up there that are used for printing the flight releases and donate them to Goodwill?

OK.. fair enough, but I want you to understand that a lot of times it does not come across like that. When all that comes out of your keyboard is DAL is slow at doing this.. and backward at doing that yada yada yada.. it sounds as if you are placing blame on us, particularly when you refer to things being run by the Amish and all that crap you DO say. And I do think it quite arrogant that some northies seem to think that since they have seen both sides of this particular merger that they automatically know which system is better strictly by that perspective... all the while intimating that since those of us from the south do NOT have that perspective our view on things is irrelevant. This ain't our first rodeo either Jack. You can deny this all you want, but I'll betcha I am not alone in this view. Nuff said.

You still don't get it... Not one single person on these baords has anything to do with the decisions that were/will be made wrt operations, yet you and Carl continually blame the south guys for it. I don't care that we don't have 2 "releases" of the flight plan. I didn't make that decision, and frankly I don't see the benefit even if I were to make it... but I digress. You wanna stop the whiner label, then quit blaming the south line pilots for all your woes.
