I know this is a new hire thread but . . .

I was wondering if there is a good resource to help me prepare for the Delta practical test? I am hoping one day to be able to actually participate in a thread such as this.

Thanks!

Like someone said to me before "spare us the victim complex". The mainline has been using a double standard and discriminatory practices for years against regionals.

jethikoki, I got hired as a regional guy. What specific double standards and discriminatory practices are you talking about? Without specifics, your post is flame bait and sounds like the bitterness of someone who didn't get hired somewhere.

Comfort Inn...Turn right, walk up the hill past the Cemetery. Manchester Arms is on the corner on the right. GREAT food, good people. Usually sim instructors hanging out putting back some VERY good beers! The smoked chop and Ribeye are amazing. AK the owner is also nice to look at - She's got that Southern accent. Good luck!

Baja.

Key point. Don't skip on breakfast. Running out of energy during the testing won't help.

Dianne the manager will personally see that you arrive at Delta on time... walking is for suckers... $56 out the door. If you are gonna splurge, try the Renaissance for $75, order room service and enjoy the view. Just some thoughts. Good luck! Cheers H

It appears the majors are legally allowed to use laws to discriminate against regionals when a major buys a regional. Due to the McCaskill Bond amendment your mainline job will be protected but any major can buy a regional and throw out all the pilots if they wish. That has happened already. It may be legal but why is that not discriminatory in nature? Not bitter, just discrimination in any from is still discrimination legal or not. Good luck to you sir and the those getting hired congrats as well.
