$20 bucks to the first Captain to post himself (with his hat on) doing a stand up welcome announcement!

Go Delta!

I recently had my first OE trip and the CA did a funny welcome announcement every leg. We were within a few minutes either side of on time on every leg, except where we had to plane swap and the plane was late coming in (not our fault, obviously). We ended up getting back on time two legs later.

The passengers seemed to enjoy the announcement, from what I could see from my vantage point.

Oh, and he wore his hat. It was a good first trip.

Everyone here should read this thread.

Takeaways:
Customers like Delta because of the people (hey, that's us!) and IROP recoveries/treatment (that's partially us too).

Customers don't like CRJs.

Customers like Woodford Reserve.

I'll say it, CRJ900 > ERJ175.
Bins on the 175 fill up way too fast. I don't mind pink tagging.

Maybe if you jump up and down and wave your hands around with your hat on as you do your little dance during your PA someone will notice you and you will land that big job. Let me know how that goes.

Generally the people who want to progress their careers and be successful in life will go above and beyond the call of duty and won't stop until they obtain the goals they've set out for. That goes for any career field, not just those of us working to get on with a legacy. So yes, I will wear the hat, I will make PAs in the cabin time permitting, I will do more than you, and I will be here for a much shorter amount of time than you. But please, keep talking your FOs ear off about how you've been screwed...because we all don't talk to each other and know who you guys are or anything.

You will likely still have to fulfill your commitment to the DGI if Delta is your goal.

Oh you gossip about people? How cute. I really hope you are here a shorter time than me that would be fantastic. One less hat wearing monkey I have to deal with.

Yeah it really must be tough to work with people who have a good attitude, work hard, and enjoy what they do...

Wonder how this will affect future Ops. Never mind, fake news!
