I recently watched a (original Pinnacle) line check pilot trying to get bullied into a junior man (well into his off day which would become a 6 day) by TW... I don't think most experienced pilots here are in a mood to roll over watching that... I know I wouldn't have an issue saying no, I've done it before. Sometimes the $ has to be removed from safety.
I guess that's why I'm not Delta material ;)
PS Just say no to hats

Lol the last comment should be a sticker we all rock on our roller bags! "Just say no to hats" the looks delta would give oh man priceless!

Travel benefits question. Been with my girlfriend now for sometime, and have been living together now for over 6 monthes, would they consider that grounds to be able to add her to my travel benefits as a domestic partner?
I guess has anyone on here done this?

Yes you need to justify her as a domestic partner. Shared bank accounts and what ever you can provide to show proof over time.

We are no where close to a Comair and if anything it's the opposite. All 200s will eventually leave NY and go somewhere else ATL, DTW etc. probably mostly ATL. They are moving old ASA to NY where our maintenance is taking over on their 700/900s. Usually in the past a new NY base for a DL regional is to put them down. That didn't happen to us but we will see how it goes for ASA/XJT side. But as far as Endeavor goes, it's moving on business as usual and looking good. We are getting closer to negotiations and that brings out " the sky is falling " type of discussions. There is still whipsaw going on but I can't see that lasting much longer considering the current and future demand of Pilots.

Eventually Delta will do what it takes to keep this place staffed, whatever that entails.

Make us wear hats and tell the new guys how lucky they are to get to look like Delta?

All joking aside, Delta needs us too badly to shut us down right now. If the economy sours or North Korea starts a nuclear war, the highest cost ones will go away. Then again, if that happens, we'll get to see if Mesa really will survive a nuclear apocalypse:-D

Well that's the glass is nearly full post. While I'd like to believe all that, we're still dealing with Delta. Delta is the king of whipsawing, and I don't trust them. I think their treatment towards us in regards to SSP interviews, flow, and pass travel shows how they value us. Also, I'm not sure how they feel about owning a regional despite the current trend

I agree they don't care about us. Only demand will dictate what happens. Anything can change in a moments notice but the demand is favoring our profession. What does that equate to? Not sure, except things are a lot better than they we're 2 years ago. Unfortunately there will be winners and losers when the music finally stops. Who will it be ? Some regionals will go out of business because of all this shifting around. I don't think it will be us but I've been wrong before. Of course my wife always thinks I'm wrong. We don't have any control over these things except try to stay positive and enjoy the show.

If North Korea starts a war it will be with nuclear ICBMs. We will have more than that to worry about, unless they blow up in their face.

Their ICBM's won't make it out of the Korean Peninsula and if one does happen to reach California, that would be cause to celebrate lol. It's getting old waiting for an earthquake to remove CA from the union.
