Not true! They take inexperienced pilots at Delta so they won't jump ship to Jetblue!

There is no need to be brainwashed. For their pay, benefits, and variety of equipment/flying I can be the company guy all the way in...

LCA supposedly says "well culture here at Delta is that Copilot does walkaround unless pre-arranged with the Captain, but in the absence of an arrangement, copilot walks"

Apparently new hire didn't think that was appropriate and wanted to start "changing culture". According to LCA, said new hire is no longer with Delta (could have been multiple factors as one supposes if a newhire really takes that stance, probably going to have other "culture" issues with the company).
Unbelievable that somebody would knowingly throw away a winning lottery ticket over a walkaround. Anybody that stupid certainly shouldn't be flying airplanes.

The average age of the bottom 375 pilots at Delta (that goes back to July 31) is 37.

The average age for Delta pilots hired in the last 3 years is 38.
