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.

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!

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.

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.......
