As a middle age regional TOOL I like to Delta bash as much as anyone. It keeps me from crying knowing people my age make five times what I make just to operate an aircraft.

With that disclaimer in mind I think the Delta pilot deserves a break. He got asked to help and he tried to help. End of story.

He didn’t get “asked” for help, he “offered” help and subsequently provided, save for an endless supply of meme material, absolutely nothing.

I think he did.

But I am not going to stand on Delta hill and spar. So to each his own and cheers.

Wow. Please read this. If this is from HIS point of view I can’t imagine what the pilots point of view is.

I'm going to guess he will spend the whole trip *****ing about it, like he does every trip. If it is a legal assignment he only has himself to blame for not seeing it coming. KNOW THE CONTRACT!!!

Those “old guys” have forgotten more about flying than the children of the magenta line have learned in their short careers.

I’m not sure “they’ve forgotten it all” is the defense you think it is 🤷🏽*♀️
