Can you describe how your feelings have been hurt?
You strike me as a businessman Carl. This post kinda baffles me.

Have your paychecks bounced? If not, then what's the problem?
That's the only outward nicety that I would care about.

A certain amount of Compass/XJ/9E pilots will be on the Delta Air Lines seniority list soon. (Based on previous agreements arranged by our/their airline management.)

Do I think your question of whether their test was the exact same test you took is egregious? No. I think it lacks a little class, because at this point, what's done is done, & I'm looking forward to not being considered a new-hire anymore. (After five years at the company.)
Flew with a Capt a few weeks ago who commented he was on his 8th airline from 1 interview

ALPA, you mean the union that without their negotiations with Northwest you would have had a snowball's chance in hell of coming over to mainline in 2010? that ALPA? ALPA may not be perfect but man you are a piece of work with your gratitude.

Is purple a flow? I thought a while back he said he was PMDL.

And my point is one Purple is more than enough. A 4 day with him would have me on Prozac and suicide watch. Debbie Downer X 10.

That is some funny stuff right there, coming from the "Latest and Greatest" thread. I have stepped away from this echo chamber and only check it when something "interesting" has happened at Delta, like Friday's hiring announcement. In general this place has grown more useless than the DALPA forum, with the same guys repeating the same drivel. I believe you'll agree that the number and variety of posters here has declined dramatically. Occasionally it still provides entertainment, like Check Essential posting we won't hire minutes before hiring is announced. Or FtB mathematically "proving" that mainline won't grow when the fleet plan is on Delta Net. Or 80 claiming his childhood as airline experience.

You call my post dishonest spin. I quoted you and linked back to your original post. It doesn't take "legions" to do what you claimed in your response you meant. I'll leave it for the other readers to judge your words; I know what they meant to me and you received a response. BTW, the current MEC has 11 or 12 of the voting reps with a straight CIV background. We're already where you hope to go.

Again, an interesting perspective. When I quote and link your post it's dishonest spin and shooting inside the circle. When you post, it's pure and for reform?

It's unfortunate that when pointed out your words made you uncomfortable. I've had several posts like that (particularly aimed at BuzzPat) which I regret making. I also fully believe that you want the best for our careers. But I don't believe your rhetoric helps get us there. I'll address your PCL comments in another post.

I hear you about purple but I'm confident that most of all the other pilots in the flow are nothing like him.
