Favorite debate quote... Romney appreciates "wind jobs" in Iowa. Sounds like I need a Des Moines layover.

Is there anything wrong with that?

Just looking for some advice please?! I know that once Delta starts hiring, it's going to take a wing and a prayer! But can anyone tell me if devoting oneself to operating as Delta connection only, would give you any advantage? If you could move to the interview, and explain that you have spent the last 7 years working only Delta flights in hopes of landing a job there, would that mean anything?!

It might help. I knew very little about Delta when I interviewed other than jumpseating on them here and there.

They look much more at the total product of the pilot. Delta Connection carriers run operations very different from mainline in many cases, so I would not rely on that at all.

What if I was a product of the wholly owned! (Probably not spelled right!) Went to Comair in 2006, post strike and not knowing all the drama of the Comair-Delta past, then moved to ASA! From what I understand, they share the same MEC office! Since I was 9 years old I have always aspired to be a Delta pilot! That has played a large role in my choice of regionals. Will it really matter?! Or should I have picked a regional based on upgrade time alone?

Basically, my question comes down to PIC time, or brand loyalty? I'm guessing PIC.
