Ok, took the survey. No mention of hats but I do hope they "de-identified" those taking it or my termination notice is probably on its way

Guess I shouldn't have taken it after reading the DALPA forum, always puts me in a bad mood

I took it and hammered them about the "branding" questions(s). Told them it's hard to have a brand when you're sending your passengers to subcontractors.

Sounds like what I told them. That and I took exception to "what makes this a great place to work", talk about not wanting to hear about warts to begin with. I mentioned that if it says Delta on the ticket, a MAINLINE Delta employee should do the flying. Guess well see, when does the survey close and when/if will the company provide results?

[QUOTE=80ktsClamp;1159305]In the free text, I made sure to remind them that to make Delta great, if it says Delta on the side of the airplane that it should be flown by Delta mainline employees.

Ditto here!

Told 'em to stop outsourcing my job

The 880, DC-6/7, L-100, 727, DC-8, and 1011 seemed to do fine for us -

Fuel was a whole lot cheaper when those frames were flying.

Yep - agree - name me something that wasn't cheaper (other than ticket prices). Just making the point that 3+ engine airplanes have a good history here.
