Plug is a pretty good gig at mainline compared to a regional.

Probably by continuing to brag about green slips and making cringeworthy posts

I’m aware, thanks. I commuted to SFO as the literal plug for a month and it’s nothing great.

He will enjoy commuting to reserve for most likely a few years, and he will hate his life, no matter what his “look at how great I am” posts say.

But to be fair, if you’re younger like me and have Instagram, you know of him for not good reasons IMHO.

I personally can’t stand the kid. Why, because ALL his posts are just full of bragging and stroking his own ego. He could just post a picture of being a proud Delta pilot, but it’s border line narcissism with “at the age of 25 I will become a Detla pilot”. Ok, congratulations buddy, but let’s settle down the ego stroking. What he doesn’t understand is he makes us all look bad with that crap.
Oh man I take it all back. I know who he is. He was in my first day of 7ER ground school. Could not stop clicking the keyboard the ENTIRE DAY! Annoying AF!

As long as youre aware.

Also, at delta the reserves go senior often. For 260 an hour he can move to nyc, hes- what 20?- he can probably get an apartment in kew or forrest with no cosigner.

One of the new minted captains is an insta-moron and lives with his mom still.

He got to make the “I’m a captain at age 25” post though!

Yeah..that's kind of my point....I know the 717 and DC-9 have the same type rating...but he could have typed B-717 on his profile, but he chose to be misleading and type DC-9.

I hope he likes those NYC taxes. Nice little 40% off the top, thanks for playing!

-he was awarded the717 coming back from UNA and actually flew the plane, not in his indoc award
- he will have 20-25 people junior to him in NY, hardly the plug.

plenty of people take first upgrade at a regional right at 1,000 hours. Idk how much time he had when he got hired but he worked for RAH and NK before DL. Had a couple guys in my class that were 25/26 with 1,000 TPIC. They probably upgraded at 23 or 24
