Now what kind of wings are we talking about? Hot, Mild, or Teriyaki? Perhaps with bluecheese dressings?
All kidding aside, would be nice to see more wide-eyed FO walking down the concourse in the near future, like we all were at one point!

Someone pointed out to me that the most recent staffing projection shows us needing 500 fewer pilots than the last staffing projection. Has anyone noticed that? Has that been addressed or explained? I was skeptical since it showed a reduction in 777 pilots in both bases and seats...that seemed odd. Anyone hear anything about this? Is it normal summer vs. fall schedule adjustment?
Of course, I'm new so I took it as truth.

That is until they get off probation. Most of the civilians coming in are quite jaded.

Agreed, so far the worst day/trip that Delta has even thought of throwing at me beats my best day in the Air Force. Hands down.

B-Office,
Purely out of curiosity - what did you fly in the Air Force?
Can't say I have ever heard anyone speak of their "flying" experience in the Air Force like that. Also can't say I miss 180+ days/year deployed to the desert, seeing the same fat chicks at the pool everyday, or living in PT gear (actually that made the wardrobe pretty cheap for a couple years.) But, hands down I found the flying and camaraderie to be second to nothing in the world.
Definitely not arguing with you - your experience was clearly different. Just found it interesting - nothing more than a point of curiosity.
I do, however, agree with you that life at Delta is good - very good. Probably, like you, I have had more time off the last 6 months with Delta than I did the last 8 years in the AF. Hard to whine about that.

I said Most not all. Happy with the job and being happy with the way the career is going are two different things.
