Not everyone who is Arab is a terrorist, but everyone who was a terrorist on 9/11 was Arabic... so referring to the 9/11 terrorists as "camel loving friends" would be an accurate description; accurate in the sense of their background, and accurate in the sense that it carries a demeaning connotation. Do you think we should refer to them as, "those nice Arabic men who killed thousands of people"? Of course not. Never once did anyone here direct a negative comment toward the Arabic community. It was all directed at the terrorists themselves, which it should.

Enough of that - what was the ACTUAL subject of this thread? State of the Regional market? Discuss....

Back to the main topic....

I was going through the meet and greet at Delta for the interview and some of the people I met were already stating that the Delta feeders were over hiring. This was back in July. These were not marketing but operational people. Bid Daddy D was aware of this. What was your feeder telling you in July?

I was being kind and glib by using "camel loving friends" If I was to be totally accurate I would have said "psychopathic islamic murderers who killed innocent people and ruined my career all because I don't think muhammad is that great and I let my wife drive a car" There, I'm sure that description doesn't apply to you so get over yourself.

Are you kidding me! Try making a movie like "Airplane" again, and let us know how far you get

What was it - Operation "Eternal Justice" I think, that we changed to "Enduring Freedom" because it offended the very ones we were bombing?

Well it seems as though management never feels comfortable with the level of staffing when it comes to the amount of pilots the company currently employs. Seems to me that on top of filling all the airplanes with crews they won't feel comfortable unless they always have someone to furlough. So to answer your question they say they can't hire enough and have no plans to stop looking. Maybe they should check out the forums.
