Want us to look like Delta, treat us like Delta. Until then, no hat and I'll keep my leather jacket.

Oh yeah, we aren't good enough to be Delta, just ask the rejected SSPers.

The hats are always up for sale gojo. But Delta isn't going to give you a dollar to do it. It's your call more than it is mine, but if I was staying screw the hat unless they want to pay.

Well it's not like they're asking us to wear a pink tutu or something gross. It's just a damn hat. And I probably hate hats more than everybody here. It just seems to me that there are more important things to worry about

From: In the corner using a lampshade as a hat.

Jet blast could blow the hat off the FO's head into a ramper and incapacitate them. They're a safety issue we just can't risk.

You don't wear the hat on a walk around. FOD.

I got the idea he may have been joking. The emblem is huuuge though, maybe it could take out out a ramper.

Can someone explain if regional pilots are not a threat to a mainline pilots job or position then why is it we cannot have equal treatment across the board? Would Delta still have done what they did?

The Root Cause

So aw shucks Ed and his slew foot half brother Gil finally come out to the press.. "We let you down"... you have some pronoun trouble Ed... "YOU" let everyone down... while you were at the Masters instead of inside the terminal dealing with stranded passengers yourself... and Gil ... "We promise a deep dive to find the root cause of the problem"... You and Eddie want to find the root cause of the problem.. Hold hands and go in the executive wash room together and look in the mirror.... Root Cause Found.. Don't like it??.. The truth hurts.... but hey.. $500 million in first quarter profit is what really matters... azzhat
