Spent a week on Virginia ave last week. Word was there was a former mil heavy guy not comfortable with the capt making abort decisions. Felt he could/should get a vote on the abort. Also a 9e or compass guy on the line that expected Capts to do every other walk around vs it being a courtesy. There were a couple of more issues I can't remember. The instructor did say these wee the outliers and the majority( both civ and mil) were top notch.
-- a guy who refused to do walkarounds, saying "It flew in, it'll fly out."
-- a guy who wouldn't wear black shoes
-- a guy on reserve who wouldn't get a phone
-- a guy who brought a lawyer to his sim check
Hard to believe, but I suppose anything's possible.

Yep... washouts are typically due to attitude. Although there was one CPZ fella that couldn't hack it on the DC-9. Apparently their beard growing ability wasn't up to par.

The -900 doesn't go senior. Nobody I've talked to likes it, except the passengers ... who are starting to complain about the weather that the airplane can't avoid at the altitudes it operates in. The -700 is a much better airplane.
It would be hard to bid around the the -900, but it wont be "senior."

If there's something else going on in one's life, let Delta know. They will work with you and help you. If you clam up, they can't help you, and you've put yourself in a bad situation.

Side note, when resupply ships pulled up to the U boats and popped the hatch, the smell was often enough to make them vomit.
