Sorry man, too good to pass up 
learn the rule: your / you're
- your is a possessive adjective, indicating ownership of something
- That is your sock.
- Where is your potato?
- you're is a contraction (combination) of you and are
- Do you know what you're doing?
- You're stupid.
- The two are not interchangeable.
- Getting it wrong makes you look stupid. And ugly.

What test? I would be happy to take the same test that the Western Airlines and Northwest Airline pilots took for their continued employment at DAL. Oh yeah that was a merger. Isn't it funny when a major wants to buy another major but can't so they have a merger and the seniority list are merged to one. I just wonder what ALPA's response would be if Western and NWA pilots would be required to take a test and interviewed to have continued employment at DAL. We already know what happens when a major buys a regional.
Again, your theory or sarcasm on the previous post is true. Its best that you take your own ideology and live with it. There is no use for you to compare or get upset with the treatment of Regional Pilots to that of Major Pilots. Regional Air Line Pilots will always have to prove their worth and work their way up. This is the hard and cold truth. It sucks,but that is the way it is. Sorry/
Be Safe,

OK. At a meeting Thursday. Flight Operations management stated that 143 furloughed pilots have definitely accepted recall. Only 8 have declined. Status of the other 50 or so is unknown. Should fill Delta's needs for at least 6 months starting in November.
A little friendly advise. At an interview, an airline isn't primarily concerned with your pilot resume. If you were not considered qualified, you would never have been invited for an interview at all. Little more than verification that your not lying will be done. They want to know what kind of person you are and how well you can work with others. They want to know if your an honest person.
Some of the posts here lead me to believe there are those who wouldn't pass the test.
Just sayin'.

"Pretty tough and competitive process at NWA. If you like to know more about the NWA process, ask someone. Im sure and willing to bet it was a lit bit more than you think So knowing that, NWA dudes deserve their rights at Delta." I am sure the Western pilots will say the same and yes you do deserve your rights at DAL. But I am trying to find the test that the NWA and Western pilots took for DAL? Why does NWA and Western rights have to be better then a regional pilots in the same association? Not trying to go the Com Air route but a flow would suffice. If DAL had the ability to buy NWA what would happen if DAL required all NWA pilots to be interviewed and tested again before being allowed continued employment?

I was a Regional Pilot (commuter back then), I know what you are saying. My advice to you is not to worry about why or how other groups make it without bias. I would put my head high up, choose the place you want to go and be diligent, dont give up and kick A$$ on the tests you are given. If your questions are real then you really want to start reflecting and changing. You do not want your envious and challenging attitude to show in a interview.
Otherwise, good luck and remember: There will always be someone better looking and richer than you. You have to learn how to deal with your own circumstances without jealousy.

THere will never be unity because Mainline Pilots lost their jobs to RJs. And now RJ Pilots are losing their jobs because the Mainline flying is being shifted back to Mainline.Back in the day, it worked. Why? Because we had Mainline and Commuter jobs. The RJ introduced its head and made the commuter guy think he was more than that. Thats where Management saw the opportunity to implement this nasty inbred disconnect.
The RJ should have never been slated to be a commuter airliner. It should have been placed on Mainline's fleet count flown by mainline pilots. I blame this on ALPA.

Not to argue with you and I know it is a sore subject. You could also be "messing with me" but Ill say it again. NWA/WAL pilots are better than their regional counterparts. THey worked up the chain and proved their worth to the MAJOR LEAUGE. They got picked up. The Regional guys are still trying to get a chance to make it. The Regional pilots still need to prove their worth.
