Just stating the obvious. The crew he is thanking works for a company not named "regional Delta." It would be nice if the younger class in the world actually lifted a finger (or their ticket) to get it right...there you go, now I'm wound up

Coto Pilot...Sorry you have been out of work...Your fellow pilots at the mainline sold your job for pay and work rules...That's the way this business is....

You said:

"If it was an RJ, it probably wasn't a Delta crew."

If you are such an "expert", then why did you say it "probably wasn't a Delta crew"....We know it wasn't...

He was saying thank you...You are simply confirming what most of us already know....

APC... where even a "Thank you" thread turns into a flame war in less than 1 page. Wound up tight? You bet! APC's registered members represent some of the TIGHTEST wound people on the internet. Even political message boards don't get this heated.

Yeah those young whipper snappers. I mean, even though the aircraft are painted Delta Colors, their Tickets say Delta Airlines, they're welcomed aboard "Delta Flight 1337" and earn Delta Sky miles, they can't even read the minuscule "Operated by Regional XYZ." What is this generation coming too? I bet all the older people can look at an RJ and tell you EXACTLY which regional carrier it is operated by! Curse those kids and their hip hop music! Now I'm going to bed, it's 8:30! Keep it down.
(The preceding paragraph was made entirely in satire. Again, only at APC would I need to add such a disclaimer).

and they are ground handled by people that were once mainline employees that have taken station reassignment and pay cut after pay cut.

Oh no! Sorry guys, I didn't mean to start a flame. You are right, it was a Delta-painted, operated by Skywest aircraft. When I wrote this I was so beyond tired, that finding my ticket (or remembering the regional operator) was impossible. I had been up since very early!

Again, sorry. And thanks again to the Skywest crew operating the CRJ200.

Oh! And today they did a great job again. I didn't catch the name of the female CO and the male FO. But the FA was surely a lovely lady.

HEHE! I didn't feel 4 feet tall, but I wasn't feeling 999 feet tall, like when you are in the 777, for sure.

It's a very quiet aircraft, I'll give ya that.

Most of us are just teasing...no need to apologize.

The title of the thread says "(SkyWest) Delta" so what's the problem? SkyWest flies Delta and United routes, so maybe he wanted to distinguish which side he was on. Lighten up, Francis.
