And there it is. Whenever anybody doesn't fall lockstep with your position on everything they are on the other side and fighting against the pilots. Predictable.

There were clear intelligent counters to your claim that "there's something wrong with the contract". He just asked whose side your on.
The "fighting against the pilots" we're YOUR words. Straw man. Interesting that you injected that.

James, James, James.... #smh (shaking-my-head, for you old guys)

You and your previous "shadow" (fake) D-ALPA leadership...just...don't...get...it!! It isn't about "FO's making more than Captains, it (last TA) wasn't about junior guys being rewarded more than senior or old vs. young. The last P.O.S. (I'm confident you know what that acronym stands for) was nothing more than a take and run from the company with nothing left on the table for the pilots. AND YOUR CRONIES ENDORSED IT!! Shame on you, and what you tried to bring to this profession last summer. Hopefully your wife doesn't take the same beating you tried to serve this pilot group on a silver platter!

Just for your peace of mind, Jamesie, it has been quite regular that I "pull down those kind of hours". Believe it or not, I have been working to make those hours too. Just so I can upset those insecure pilots like you who have some "johnson measuring" issues and need to wear the four stripes to make sure everyone on board knows they're in charge. You're probably one of those DB's that think you're still in the military, although you've been flying civilian aircraft for 20 years now. Let it go dude, just let it go. YOU ARE THE LEGEND IN YOUR OWN MIND.

Just so you don't feel left out, April will be approximately 230 hours. Thinking of taking some time off in May and only earning a credit of around 200 hours though...

When looking at the overall big picture and not the pokes, he is correct. You'r just jealous the captain upgrade or quality of life sacrifice won't allow you to do the same thing. Thats your choice, not a contractual issue.

If it is wrong, then the problem is Delta isn't paying it's captains enough not that senior FOs have the opportunity to hustle and make a good wage.
