All that stuff about waiting being a good thing is garbage.
Just because we have atp mins doesn't mean we're qualified in their eyes.
And that's what matters.

Military guys get hired because they have a good track record, a lot of Delta guys are prior military so they know what they've been through, they've already passed very intense training (and can do it again), and most have been though combat and horrible weather and can handle a little traffic/turbulence/emergency without losing their ******.

I'm not trying to compare or say "world's greatest pilots." Just saying from my perspective/opinion. And yes, DTW is jacked up. I mean, who changes the ATIS code :15 past the hour with NO changes?!? Even the Zulu time is the same! And then complains that you don't have the right code?!?
