Carr, are you a Delta pilot?

A lot of this sentiment on this thread in particular seems manufactured by a select few individuals who are for their own reasons trying to feel better about themselves. I am a civilian former turboprop and RJ driver who has been treated with nothing but respect by everyone I have encountered so far at DAL. If you bring good piloting and a respectful attitude to the cockpit you will be respected here. There is no mainline conspiracy by the white male military fighter pilot mafia to marginalize the regional pilots - much of that discussion here seems to have resulted from people who took comments out of context and/or failed to read and comprehend the entire thread.

Disagree. Even though the "north/south" occurred in this very digital age, the rest of which you mentioned all happened before the fancy fangled interwebz.

It's simple pilot douche baggery.

There's always been mil vs civ douche baggery , there's always been senior/junior douche baggery, the proliferation of the RJ's caused pilot douche baggery, giving away scope in exchange for a big paycheck and then being mad because the RJ "took our yerbs!!!" douche baggery, whatever.

You do realize that most of the RJ-insulting posts on this thread were made by other RJ pilots, who were (I believe) attempting to be sarcastic, don't you? BTW, I always tip my (mandatory) hat to RJ pilots when I see them, and I call the four-stripers "Captain". :)

Evidently they view military pilots as the better candidates for flying airliners. Out of four requirement tiers, military guys are good to apply with 750 hours. Civilians need 1000, 1250 or 1500 depending on other factors. Military superiority complex is alive and well at one of our Delta Connection partners.
