Flying planes into hostile lands can do that to people. I hope to see you out on the line soon.... DAL is full of terrific dudes just like any other airline. Please don't let me misrepresent the 12000+ guys at DAL.
No worries, man. I've got lots of friends at Delta, they're all great guys, so what you say is true. Stay safe over there, flying NVG Assault landings to a blacked out dirt LZ while listening to loadmasters screaming about tracers trying to track your aircraft will create a bond.

That's fantastic news, I hope it turns out to be true. We'll be competing for pilots with Delta, United, the new American, JetBlue and others, there's plenty of room for everyone.

If we keep running our operation as 'smoothly' as its going right now, we'll be competing FOR those jobs at Delta, United, the new American, JetBlue and others ourselves.

What's going on and how bad is it? I heard about the fueling issue, but that's now resolved. You guys still having trouble in other areas?

I've been delayed more legs than not this trip, mostly due to ****ty East Coast weather. FLL ops did forget about us hanging out in remote last night waiting on a gate though...that's 20 minutes of my life I'll never get back.

Better than 20 mins spent at the gate with the door open!

Our 50% on time arrival stats are really going to set the DOT stats on fire. Watch out Mesa there is a new bottom in the top 10.

Just one guy's observation here, but ontime performance is improving greatly.

Would you guys call it growing pains, or mismanagement? I heard you are ramping up the monthly hiring from 20 to 30.

I believe it is mismanagement of our growing pains. Oh yeah, and ticking off the FAA.
