Can't fly RNAV off the runway in ATL, Whitestone climb, and we have new hires not even out of the school house acting like children. Hopefully someone from the training department sees that and washes him out in sims. Its pretty disgusting the lack of professionalism I've seen and continue to see. Oh but we deserve flow, contractual career progression, same commuter policy's as Delta, yadda yadda yadda. This regional seems like more of an adult day care each day. I am not making this a blanket statement to everyone but some of us need to grow the f$%# up.

If you have put in a certain amount of time here paying your dues, taking pride in yourself and your work, with a good performance record and attitude, that should be enough to have earned something better than the same interview as a random applicant off the street. Hopefully people more intelligent than I in the union and management can find some way to differentiate between those of us that care and the entitled dirtbags.

At any rate, you are never behind the 30 who checked in ahead of you, this isn’t AA, it’s DL. Goes on priority code, then hire date (seniority). You can walk up to the gate, have the agent list you, and get on ahead of the 15 SKW, GJ, and XJT pilots who checked in last week.

The only issue you should have on DL is listing for the JS. If you get to the gate 2 minutes after the other JS applicant, he/she wins. Unless it’s a DL pilot, then you lose even if you sign up before they do. Them’s the rules.
