There's a big difference between RJ flying and mainline flying. On a RJ, you can hire a bad personality and not have to put up with it for more than an hour to two hours. At Delta, you have 737, 75/76, 777, etc, and have to fly with guys for 7-12+ hours. Here, you need to make sure you weed out as best as possible all the bad personalities.

Good points

Don't call me Nancy...my name is Shirley. Sorry if that came off negative, but that's just the truth.

He just quit Pinnacle yesterday, so he's allowed to be negative. Moving up in the world Pogey or out of the game altogether?

I need you to teach me Prefbid to get those 1-2 hour a day schedules! Lord knows most of us fly 4-6 legs a day with 12 hours duty with the same guy! 4 days in a row! ;)

The entitlement attitude, youthful naivete and general lack of professionalism is disturbing. If one wishes to join the ranks of Delta, then work hard, study hard, and for heaven sakes, fill out an application. Otherwise may I suggest Virgin America...I think they may be hiring.

I don't know of a single flow pilot who had any "entitlement attitude" as you put it. None were young and naivete as you put it. Most were well into their 30's and had 15 years of 121 time, most as a Captain. I guess that makes us unprofessional and entitled :rolleyes:

1/3 of a newhire class at DAL WILL be 9E pilots as part of the Bridge agreement.

Hopefully you are not one of them. We do not need your arrogance here. I am guessing you went to the Gulfstream Academy.

How is that arrogance?

Whether the bridge agreement happens or not remains to be seen, but that is the process that is in place right now if classes started today.

Nothing I have said is arrogant or entitled.

You on the other hand.......

wth? If Delta didn't want you the first time, probably won't want you a second time either. It's not like there is a sim eval that you can really screw up. All of it is computerized testing, HR type questions in where you have to be yourself. Then a wildcard shrink portion, but still.
