Funny how some of the themes he laments affecting Delta parallel the laments of the Delta pilots vis-avis the corporation. Me thinks there is some room for synergy ;-)
I do think there is some opportunity to gain more favorable conditions from the govenment for the US airline industry - that is working with the government.
The current approach of taking a highly visible hard line hasn't exactly worked in Delta's favor, perhaps more constructive engagement would deliver better, more timely results...
And lastly, I like his voice from behind the podium much better than when he sits at C.E. Woolmans desk, I just can't quite put my finger on it ;-)
Cheers

If RA manages to deliver a fraction of what he proposes, it will be good for Delta, RA and Delta pilots...

Be careful with Real Estate Agents. There are some good ones, but most are just trying to make a sale, any sale, and at any cost. I'm constantly surprised at how inexpert they are at Real Estate. There is a lot of ways to save money ... like managing your Title Insurance during the buy that can save several percentage points. It adds up.

Yep,
Nothing like a second decade in the right seat to perfect ones skills.
And unlike me, a lot of FOs don't need two decades to practice.

Also, is the little fact that when this is done, the company will figure that they don't need as many reserves, so that will eventually cost jobs... all so you can get that trip that your seniority won't hold at YOUR base....
