Chente, I understand.

There are some that have a poking stick and they like to poke people in the eye whenever the opportuntiy presents, and I do mean both, and sometimes its for no other reason than to be ugly.

Just be quick to listen, slow to speak, slow to become angry, turn the other cheek and possibly flick them off as you walk away.

But we're all Delta pilots now. And our problem isn't each other, its codeshares and regionals coupled with external things like age 65 just happening or the DOT in bed with the likes of SWA. Its LAX losing to Alaska, 767 becoming all ER, 765s leaving ATL and replaced by 330s that ATL pilots can't bid, its DC9s being parked, its 742s being parked, and whatever else we can think of. There is a lot to deal with

Just ignore all together or address the individuals individually when it happens but the FNWA vs FDAL should be dead... or we'll be dead in the water.



Everyone better.

Well I get tired of hearing you whine about fnwa guys raiding your bases and airplanes and trying to argue who got screwed more. :rolleyes:

My gawd, leave it alone. No one is forcing you to come on this board or this thread. I'll also remind you that you have the option to ignore all posts by any user, you just need to add them to you 'ignore list'. It's likely that the users you claim continue to whine are a limited few, so how about you take advantage of that ignore feature.

I am not very eloquent in my comments but you said it better than I ever could. That is what I was trying to say, stop complaining about what was, and start fighting TOGETHER against what is, which is SWA. We have a good thing going here, it's not as bad as some people make it out to be.

I hope we can keep working towards this goal but I have to tell you I find your comments insulting and self indulgent. Lets not lump a few bad apples (on both sides) into the thoughts of an entire pilot group.

I know a lot of you are thinking this, I am just the one who said it:eek:

What he said. ^^^^

Remember, we really are all Delta pilots now. We might move down in our bases, I have, we might get MD'd, I have, but thats not necessarily the merger. We've got regionals to deal with, codeshares with Alaska killing LAX, age 65 kicking in, DC9s parking, 742s parking, 765s leaving ATL and replaced by 330s that ATL pilots can't bid on, SLC switching from MD90s to 320s, 767s becoming all ER, DOT in bed with SWA killing the slot swap expansion.

What we do have as a group is one hell of an airline going forward, or imagine a Delta today without the merger with SWA coming to town?

A tiger's got to crouch before it pounces and just ignore the naysayers and those whose words are ugly- on both sides of the pre-merger lists on this thread.

But love those whose pictures are hot.
