Better times than 2005! We may find ourselves in the right place at the right time. Hope you're enjoying flying the magic!
Thinking about bidding the ATLDC9A. Just need to ask one of those guys how they find the airport? Hope you're doing great!

If your perspective is "time value of money" then the choice to leave is understandable.
I applaud those leaving and wish them well.

I guess we'll know what the right choice was about 30 years from now. In the meantime, I'd like to see DAL pilots score a contract so good that only a complete moron would jump ship for SWA or any other airline. Under status quo, you'll continue to lose good people to places like SWA, FedEx, etc.

But hey, I'm a "plan for the worst and you'll never be caught with your pants down" kind of guy...maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised by the future at DAL.
