Delta MD-88 Cancelations

I gotta bitch.

This blows.

You work your ass off to get to a good airline, spend damned near two damned decades trying to help others, shaking hands, doling out career advice, walking in resumes and a couple testosterone-laden internet posts and I'm supposedly working with a bunch of double breasted elitists.

No, it's not like that. I'm not. We're not.

I'm very disenfranchised at the moment.

Keep fighting the good fight Derg!

This is how your people turn on you in your living room????

The winds weren't elite enough for Delta Pilots to fly there today

Do you put your pants on one leg at a time like the rest of us too?

You're doing it right. Good people attract good people.

With only a couple of exceptions, most of the people who I have seen get hired so far have been absolutely great people who totally deserve it. There are a few bad apples here and there, but no process is perfect.

As for the other thread about disqualifiers...it's not worth worrying about. Either I am a good fit or I'm not, all I can do is just keep doing the best that I can. If finishing college on time is a big deal, then I'm pretty royally screwed. But even if that's the case now, there's always a chance of it changing in the future. All I can control is myself.

You aren't like that. BUT... just as American guys had to deal with the sky nAAzi tag for years, and the Airways guys have dealt with the fallout of being associated with USAP, like it or not, Delta (as a pilot group) has become associated with being REALLY full of themselves. Not everybody. Hell, probably not even the majority. But there is a vocal minority who have pulled the Southwest Card from about 10 years ago and frankly, nobody wants to hear it. And yet we do. Over and over and over again.

Don't be disenfranchised. It's not a reflection of you.

Remember I'm old

You should pour baking soda in your gas tank, the next time that you fill up. I hear that it will give you 50 mpg in city. And 80 mpg on the freeway.

I may be old but I'm an engineer. And it's not baking soda, it's peroxide. 8)

Trying to get back to SLC today. 930 flight out of Norfolk got delayed just enough for us to miss the connection in ATL. All four of the remaining flights to SLC are overbooked so they offer us a connection in Newark or a flight tomorrow. We chose Newark.

Flight from ORF was delayed for "weather" again. Never mind that it was pretty much clear skies and call winds in both places.
