There is much more to "experience" out there than time in the left seat of an RJ. When certain people understand that maybe they won't be so quick to complain when someone with a totally different (and impressive) background gets the call first.

Farting around in the left seat of an RJ? If being an airline captain is nothing more than screwing around in the seat of airplane, then it's no wonder that Delta pilots can't get a new contract. Management probably thinks you're just farting around in the left/right seat of an Airbus or Boeing and therefore don't deserve any contract improvements. You convey that very sentiment, so can you blame them for thinking the same thing?

I'm talking about people who think flying the plane from a certain seat for longer than the next guy makes them more "qualified" for a job. People that literally do nothing but fly and think they deserve a call before someone else. And when they don't get called their excuse is "Oh I'm just a white guy. If I was black, gay and had a pair of jugs I'd be at Delta". Yet those same guys refuse to volunteer, were never in the service, won't do LCA, etc. etc. Those blank spots on that resume makes it easy to see how lazy people are and how little they care.

Anyway that's why I'm annoyed at someone shaking their head at a guy who spent several years in the military in dangerous places of the world, has an outstanding achievement record, and plenty of time in a jet getting hired... It just shows the entitlement attitude of certain folks.

Yea but what was he a crew chief on? If it wasn't 130's he didn't deserve it...I'm a little biased though.

Have had my app in since CFI days, constantly updating every couple months. Had United interview and TBNT back in March which I thought was my one lucky shot at being hired from the right seat and I blew it. Never expected Delta but all it takes is 1 email to change your life again. Extremely humbled and blessed for this opportunity and ready to spend the rest of my career being a part of the Delta family! For guys stuck in the right seat there is hope! Im proof of it now!

Congrats! Glad to see that multiple airlines were interested in you in such a short period of time! Well deserved no matter what others may think or say.

I'll see you around the Delta campus soon!

Man, this post was inspiring. I am a regional guy who is actually looking to enlist as a USAF crew chief, on the guard side though. The time away from flying is not a big deal: it's about being a well rounded individual that has something to offer beyond flying alone. Hopefully can use the GI Bill to go for a masters degree as well. Big congrats to you...and thanks for your service.
