I'd of pitched a tent in Piedmont Park to get a job with Delta. Suck it up for a few months, you won the lottery if you're getting hired right now, heard that before. Move on.

"...ain't been enrolled in none o' them" is, I believe, the grammatical format you were seeking....

I do like how the company talks up the Delta family during indoc.
Then when you come back for training, you're on your own. Not even an offer to crash on the couch.
Get sick? You better get a doctor's note, unless you want the evil step-father to lash you with his belt for failing to do the dishes.
But we're so glad you're here. Welcome to the family!
Let me tell you how much Delta and CP's care about you and your family. I had a family emergency involving my 1yr old child three hours before the start of short call. The Doctor instructed me to call an ambulance and have my child taken to the closest childrens hospital. I Called the CP and he was so concerned and helpful that he removed me from short call without pay. Lost about 5hrs of pay and went to 69hrs for the month. Do you think if someone in management had a family emergency and couldn't go to work they would be docked a days pay? Hotels, why don't we start with treating people like human beings that have families. Turns out if you are based in LAX, SEA, or MSP state law requires them to use your sick leave to pay you. But if you are based in ATL Delta will be happy to save money on the back of your family emergency. I spoke with ALPA and they said contractually nothing can be done but the CP has the authority to make sure you are still paid. All of the Delta family crap is just that a bunch of propaganda. If the contract allows it they will do it.

dark.....hopefully a family event of that type will never happen again but if it should....please reconsider your 'strategy' for relieving yourself of schedule obligations.

herk....im pretty sure using the words ' piedmont park' and 'suck' in the same paragraph would be considered a lifestyle micro-agression....in particular if you happen to be hanging out there in a tent.

hey....how about alpa using some of that $50M/year to lodge our new hires?

i know....alpa could buy the no-tell motel by the cheeta3....and when we are done with this hiring cycle....the retired pilots with no pension would have someplace to live!

It's a job only, nothing more, nothing less.

There's an abandoned building a block north of the main campus that, I think, used to be for TechOps. It still has a few lights on and Delta signage. I walk past it to my Crashpad and every now and then I see someone open the gates and go inside.

If Delta still owns this building, it shouldn't cost very much to get it setup as a dorm-type facility for new-hire pilots. Heck, to assuage the "I did it, they should to" crowd, the company could offer deeply discounted nightly/monthly rates so it's not completely free.

Hmmmm... Just how close to the Cheetah3 is this motel? Is it within wobbling distance?

So, getting texts about rumors of a deal being done working off our opener.

Juicy.
