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?!
Being employed by a DCI carrier does get you extra points in the Airline Apps Delta Addendum, so make sure to fill that section out...
Cheers

I didn't mean any disrespect by saying "working Delta flights." I guess my real guestion should be which is better, 2500 hours total time with 1000 hours PIC for United; or 7000 hours SIC for "wholly owned Delta connection carriers." I'm sure the PIC will be better for now, but what about 5 years from now? Does the PIC time really carry that much weight?

The 1000TPIC is worth much more than 7000 SIC. Best of luck.

I think the 757's they are talking about 198 seats are the -300's, which today hold about 224. When we filled our DL South -200's with nothing but coach seats at Song, they had 199 seats.
And KAL thinks we shouldn't fly the Pacific?
Hahaha!
Now that's funny!
Oh, and I already gave up my $1.4 Million DB pension, so he must be talking to someone else!
The most I got out of that whole thing was....
"Wear your damn HATS!"
There, that'll fix everything!

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.

2. Start work and hopefully complete a Masters degree program.
Those are the two best things you can do for a leg up.

After many years of complete ineptitude/malfeasance, I am pleased to have a team that appears to know how to run an airline. Time will tell. (Still know that we will have to fight for every penny from these guys.)
Anyway, I prefer to be a glass half-full guy...(got tired of the constant stream of negativity, especially in the cockpit.) YMMV.
