Please tell us, since you have it all figured out, why do you have "RJ FO" under your avatar?
I'm not all that classy in person but thanks for the compliment.

RJ FO or not, I've never stayed in my current position when the opportunity to move on to something better has been afforded to me. Most all current Comair pilots can't say the same.

Boomer,

Just ignore him. If you keep giving him attention, he will just keep making idiotic posts and will continue showing everyone what a complete (insert derogatory term here) he is.

It's an exercise in futility to attempt to carry on a semi-intelligent conversation with people like that.

People that dance on someone else's grave also kick their dogs and beat their girlfriends. You can't rationalize with that.

I agree that it got out of control, and that it needs to shift back towards mainline, but don't you think that a more gradual approach we be more appropriate? Good people are being affected at a bad time in aviation. Your CEO, RA, is a cold hearted calculating SOB that only sees dollar signs, and that attitude seems to be spreading throughout the Delta pilot group. The Delta pilot's reputation of arrogance seems to have caught up with you also.
Not forgetting my roots at all. RA is running a business. Is this business suppose to be fair? The RJ pull down is long over due and all hiring should reflect the work of the pilots at regionals, ie brign them on board asap.

How can you cast judgement on these guys when you have no idea what their situations were? Have you talked to any of them and asked why or are you just sitting outside looking in? Just because you have been able to move to new positions doesn't mean everyone can. Everyone has a situation that is unique and their motivation different. No one thinks alike, this doesn't make you smarter than them, just ignorant to have life works.

Well then maybe he should change his welcoming announcement and take out the words honesty and integrity. It's been my experiance that when people claim they are something, it's usually not the case. Especially integrity

I am not sure what you want someone to say. Your anger being out of a job I totally get and can sympathize. However, I am not sure if you are being affected in a direct way. RJ contracts are just that, If RA and your CEO agree that it is financially better to proceed with a certain business plan I am sure your or my input is not a factor. Therefore, why blame DAL pilots. DAL pilots are protecting our jobs as best we can. I am hopeful it RJ flying will be further reduce and look forward to it as fast as possible. Participate if you wish but be sure you look at this situation from an objective professional view point. Mainly, we have no control over what management does. So don;t blame pilots like mushmouth did.

Turning this thread political is a sure fire way to get it closed.
