You interviewed for DAL in 2023. And you pretend to have a clue? Haha. The delta diva mentality really has to go. Y’all are embarrassing yourselves.

Exactly. Like I said, they are brainwashed from day 1. At least at AA we are honest with eachother and with outsiders.

I don't think they all belong to the same bag, the same way we don't like when they talk about AA as a whole, rather than a handful of bitter humans. It's just these type of dudes that don't understand what being humble and respectful or considerate means, and come here to throw negative BS every other day, for no reason. I'm sure the vast majority of Delta pilots are just like the vast majority of AA guys, normal people making a living.
But that UPS or this guy right here.....they're pathetic.

You're absolutely right about that. And it speaks to my point that ultimately the differences between each legacy airline are minimal from the perspective of comprabale positions. The only difference is the way in which the vocal minority speaks abouts themselves and the competitors. AA's vocal minority tends to be incredibly very self-critical, while DL's vocal minority tends to be enormously self-congratulatory.

DAL is brainwashed and AA has Stockholm syndrome.

At the end the answer is:

Don’t commute if you don’t have to. Don’t give seniority away to pursue “greener pastures”. Be happy whomever hired you first and last years hiring it wasn’t going to last forever.

Good advice. If you live in base and secured a seniority number early, it doesn't get better than that. Grass isn't always greener.

If people think AA (and honestly everyone else) is done hiring very bad times are
coming. We lose 3,000 pilots in the next 4 years.

But anyone who says otherwise at any legacy is FOS.
This man. I go to work and go home. Most of the dudes I fly with are great. MIA is one of the most chill bases though.

It's really tiring having Delter guys come on here constantly and tell us how much our airline sucks. Why are they trying to take over APC and rule over every thread? They should go start their own forum like The Line where they can all circle jerk about being the kings of the industry and obscess over the minutiae of daily air line flying. I'm just here for the entertainment.

The MIA base and the PBI/FLL folks in particular are hands down the most laid back I’ve ever met in the industry. Don’t get why anyone would have anything bad to say about the ‘culture’ here…it’s been pretty great from what I’ve experienced.

Agreed wholeheartedly. LAX is a super chill as well.
