I think that post was sarcastic….he’s only apologizing for the one comment.
The thing that amazes me about Sailing is that he catches a lot of crap on here, but he has never lost his cool. He continues to post respectfully to everyone, when some get quite disrespectful with their responses.
You’re a class act Sailing! I appreciate you.

So I will need some help here because I obviously was not around for the past 30+ years, but with the exception of 2000-2001 hires, couldn’t most pilots at DL hold CA by the 12 year mark? Airlinefiles.com has a jr CA snapshot going all the way back to 2005 and it is usually under 10 years (again excluding those hired from 2000-2001, which by any objective standard probably had the worst career trajectory and seniority progression of any pilots at DL hired after deregulation)
historically speaking, hasn’t jr CA typically been around 60-65% systemwide seniority? I wonder what keeps causing it to drop to pilots with 90% company seniority recently?
18 years to WB CA is probably not going to happen for most at DL. Im projected to be in the seniority range of WB CA plug around the 25 year mark and would be thrilled if that ends up happening.
for someone hired today it will take closer to 27-28 years to hit that number.

Having said that, the career of everyone behind us that got stuck at the regionals post 9/11 was even worse, and many with dreams of flying for the Legacies their whole life, probably became lifers at the regionals, or changed careers, so don’t read my post as whining. I still feel lucky for the career I’ve had, compared to my peers that came up at the same time I did. Timing sucked for all of us, but I’ve still had it better than a lot of Pilots. Not as amazing as I’d hoped, but not bad either. Don’t feel sorry for us.

I'm sorry for calling you an old fart.

When that’s your full time job, you have to keep it professional. Mid 2016 he took a vacation and the tone changed dramatically. The intern that replaced him for a few weeks was significantly more salty and only commented on current events. His historical record posts were noticeably lacking. He keeps this place from becoming an echo chamber but his posts are patriarchal and management directed IMHO.
