Are you saying that mainline DL has hired pilots with 200 hours total? When?

Whatever the case may be, this John guy is making an idiot out of himself. So he stops trying to do what he can to get non-revs on.
You guys are doing a 30 or 40 minute turn at an outststion. You're not going to have time to do an employment verification on the non-revs. So the group he somehow "doesn't help out" and leaves could be all ASA. Good job, brotha.
You're really stickin' it to the man now. They'll probably be calling you any day to ask how you would like your refund check for the money you overpaid for travel benefeits.
Grow up.

The only ones Delta is having an easy time with are the wholly owned.
