I (and I know most of my coworkers) feel completely unappreciated and unwanted by Delta. We are no longer the "redheaded stepchildren" we are that dirty crack*****s bastard child from down the road that belongs in jail. I just wonder if the Delta employees would once again pony up for a plane to say "thanks" to Delta as was done with that 767?
DL runs the regionals in the method most beneficial to DL, which has a much larger route network and thus will flex the regionals around much more. NW had 3 very focused hubs, which is a huge difference in itself.
You work for outsourced labor- if you want to not be the stepchild, get a job at a mainline carrier. I guess you forgot that NW drug you at XJ through a sham bankruptcy, eh?

Lots of furloughs...not good times at XJ in the mid-2000s.
As for get a job at a major, I have apps in, guys need to retire without giving up more scope so the majors can finally need to hire again.

NWA for years played the grow shrink game with Mesaba and Pinnacle/Express 1. But as was said it was 3 focused hubs with 3 crew bases that were stable (yes we had others at times where we did maintenance) I didn't say NWA was perfect, just better than how Delta abuses us.

However he does come across as a whiner- particularly with acute foot-in-mouth syndrome the last page or so. Those two combined will make him unhireable and unhappy most anywhere. If he wants to have a good career he needs to fix that quick.
