Why is that?

I'd hire the one I want to work with and sit next to for 6 days, not the doucher with the chip on his shoulder that will ear rape me for a week straight.

And what I mentioned in my earlier post about the hiring selection isn't too far from the truth.

I'm sorry you're still bitter over Comair. But in my 6 years at Delta I have NEVER seen any Delta pilot treat a regional pilot poorly. Most are quite accommodating, friendly, and sociable to regional pilots. And most of the time my captains allow regional pilots to stow their bags in the flight deck, even if they're sitting in the back.

Have a nice day.

Most likely what he is experiencing is his own bitterness radiating outward and bouncing off of those he accuses of being bitter towards him.

Hmm...What happened to Larry David's last remark? It would have been #43 or #44 I guess. I was getting the popcorn ready.

If you guys ever walked a mile in a Comair pilot's shoes, you'd understand his frustration. We all experienced it, even those of us that had nothing to do with the shenanigans of the early part of the last decade.

Some of the shunning of the Comair guys by the Delta guys was real, some was just perceived but regardless, there was bad blood on both sides. Lots of people on both sides couldn't let go of the past and move forward. Unfortunately, it was the junior Comair guys that had nothing to do with any of it that paid the price for the mistakes and miscommunication and other nonsense of the early 2000s.

His frustration is understandable from my point of view.

Umm... I never mentioned anything about Comair and being bitter towards DL because of that whole debacle. That's all in the past. That's not why I wouldn't want to work for Delta. I have my own personal reason. All I mentioned earlier was how I think the whole hiring selection will go down based on my past observation. You guys don't have to agree with me. You can look at the DL hiring news thread, obviously I'm not the only one making these observations.

Anyway, I'll let you guys go back to discussing sick calls. Carry on.

I don't have a problem with the fact that you don't want to work for Delta. I don't want to work for SWA. What I do have an issue with is the way people inaccurately portray the pilot group.
