As a WB B I really don’t wanna go to NB A, but there’s a certain relative seniority that will cause me to make the regrettable decision….

IS the company concerned about the seniority of captains? Where did you hear this?

What's really funny is if they are, they could have fixed it long before it became a 'problem'.

Man I'm gonna get fat eating popcorn and watching this show for the next few years

Doesn’t Delta hire captains? If so, why do they care. We all have plenty of time experience for a self insured company.

Don't forget that we've already effectively had unfilled CA spots. The last AE (or was it the one before?) where they pulled ~20 NYC A spots from what was posted because they basically would have given the award to someone still in indoc.

I never thought they cared. This issue came up at a base visit as they didn’t award some A slots as they would have went extremely junior. Wasn’t there, but heard it was stated they would award more positions to other bases. Do they care? Who knows.

some probably don’t care, but the safety-focused types throughout flight ops definitely care. It’s an issue, and not a small one

Easily fixable if they want to.

I wasn't aware the company cared either...

Also, popcorn doesn't have many calories...unless you pour butter all over it I guess
