no one at Delta ever says hey we’re a pretty good airline! They have to end every sentence with “the other 2(3/4) suck.
At the risk of sounding like a contrarian..... no, they don't.

That's true at every company. We have plenty of people at UA who think their farts don't stink too.

But it’s true isn’t?

Joke aside, all this “cultural”, it’s BS. Every place has their 1%. When I was at Envoy, most people at AA said the same thing about Delta. Now I’m at delta and most senior CA I used to fly said the same thing about AA. So at the end of the day, it’s all the same. “We are great, the other sucks and their culture is not as good, but their contract is better than ours. I know X pilot that makes more than me, or has more days off than me, or I want that from their contract in our contract”.

Contentment is not a strong pilot trait, especially on the interwebs.....

the more of you senior guys and gals that have the experience and resumes to leave actually leave, the more you will be helping out the junior guys from getting furloughed. much appreciated. personally, if I had 10 yrs seniority I wouldn't bet my career on a knee jerk reaction and start over again without at least waiting a little bit to see how things play out. at the end of the day, our NB jets are highly desirable and so are the people to fly them.

Here’s to hoping.

If the town hall was any indication of the future it that this management has zero vision and thinks they just flow up and down with the market.

In a recent UA intro class two of the bottome three in seniority still got upgrade slots. Nor are such slots uncommon:

I'm with American.

Thanks, AF

Bottom line is they aren't going away any time soon!
Yup, it's a relatively lean probation year and more years of reserve after that, but with 5-6 hundred retirements a year and able to make CA as soon as off probation, your family's economic future is a little more assured. Everybody makes choices, it all depends on what you think is best for you and yours.
