I enjoyed Richard Anderson's opening in sky magazine about how it's all about taking care of people... While he's dragging DCI through the mud for more concessions on already low wages.

Whipsaw is part of the game.

Right now JA is not as bad as Dick.

Oh. So it's Richard Anderson who is demanding concessions from ExpressJet? Not JA?

This is a quote from A Delta pilot.

"As a retired Delta pilot i was incensed with Anderson's opener in the old safety video. He said C.E. Woolman built Delta on the principles of honesty, integrity, and mutual respect. He is so correct. Richard Anderson doesn't even deserve being mentioned in the same sentence with CE Woolman much less being allowed to sit at his desk."


George and John I know who they are. I was hired right after they sold ASA to Delta. You know where you stood with George and John. Back then ASA was just a stepping stone job.

Ron Allen, The CEO who started the demise of Delta Airlines.

Leo Mullin, The man who robbed Delta Airlines of Millions of dollars. The man who Fired about 25,000 employees world wide. The man who took Delta Airlines to the gutter.

Tacky on my part.

Wow. Delta employs nearly 80,000 people. A quote from a single individual(also from an unknown source)that you could've made up and typed on your own. That certainly is strong support for your claim.

Do you think that is a testament to how awesome Delta is or how bad the economy and jobs are?

Definitely the job market, however, the younger generation, in survey after survey, says they want to travel rather than settle down and buy fancy cars and houses.

Well, there ya go. How about this from me:
As a current Delta pilot, who has had the chance to speak directly to Mr Anderson, I cannot agree with what some retired Delta pilot has to say. Did it occur to you that maybe he has some beef about his retirement?

Listening to the tales in the crew lounge is not the same thing as having to actually work under these guys. You pobably even heard a few of my stories. I was ASA from 1995 to 2001.

I have no evidence other than FA hearsay, but I heard today that the new hire FA's are quitting at a pretty high rate.

When they find out they're spending Christmas in Albany instead of Paris, that usually happens.
