Normally I’d say don’t feed the troll... but if you made that choice it was your own personal decision. I personally avoided the airlines during that time, found other more lucrative work and enjoyed life! Wouldn’t have a problem doing it again. This isn’t 2008, although it seems just over half of the people working here still think it is. So many company apologists.

Thanks for the push! Maybe consider motivational speaking.

He’s obviously a regional lifer that is finally realizing he’ll never be picked up my a major so instead he brags about his blow up dolls and votes in a little more 401k so his pathetic retirement will look a tiny bit better. Dudes a straight up loser!

I have the utmost sympathy for the pilots that got "9/11'd" and/or "recession-ed". The deck turned against them over night with little time to react and massive uncertainty industry wide. Enjoy the current environment, prepare for if/when it changes. Fight for better pay at the regionals now while we can, "Endeavor or Better" seems like a good starting point, the bar has been set.

There's not that much actually,
There's only 33 900s and less 700s that fly for DL.
5-10 flowing around each DL hub, SLC fills the holes in all the hubs so we see plenty min day stuff.

I was bit by a Rottweiler in 1998 so everyone here needs to get bit too.

I just stumbled over to the SAPA webforum and came across a thread where people were alluding to denying the jumpseat to DL pilots based off the whole ERJ/DL saga. It's pretty amazing how disconnected some (senior) pilots and wanna-be lifers are to reality. Get a grip.

Not just planning, mission complete.
