I remember a visceral hatred between Delta, the Atlanta Constitution and CNN (they share board members) and Valujet and later AirTran. I don't think that kind of attitude fades.

You'd think that would be even more ammo to hire Allegiant boys. Maybe someone in the ATL brick house is reading this.

I'm actually pleasantly surprised, it's pretty darn informative without too much political question dodging.

No, possibly next year but highly unlikely this year

So ignore a group of applicants that are type-rated with current PIC experience in the exact aircraft that you fly because of a two-decade old grudge.

Makes perfect sense to me.

Did you catch the fact the Delta will not extend us pass benefits on the conference call today. They are the only major airline with will not reciprocate with us. No pilots... no pass benny... Sounds like there is something there.

Yeah I got the impression they didn't say what they really thought - it being a "rated G" program & all....
