We were encouraged to do it, duties permitting.

Did the pilots from the north say goodbye to the passengers as they deplaned?

YES WE DID/DO!

And, I really had it out with an ATL FA who THOUGHT she was complementing me by saying I was the first pNWA pilot she saw say goodbye. She started to argue with me, till she saw the vain in my neck.

For the life of me..........where do we get this "stuff"?

Ok, I did dash off to catch a tight connection for my commute home. But that was one leg out of 8.

I'm really getting tired of the "aren't you so glad your Delta now?" I am, but I'm also proud of the folks I worked with "up north". We (flight ops) ran a great airline.........ya'all weren't different/better than we were.

It was encouraged by my LCA. I have always enjoyed doing it. During tight connections built into the rotation I usually see the CA head to the next gate while I say thanks to departing pax.

Did somebody give you a hard time Fatty?

I saw on the Spirit thread that a Spirit A321 is out of service due to ground damage. NA was contracted to cover the flying for that A321.

Thanks for the reply. I was afraid that was something that came out of their new contract.

Am sure you do, I have been a south guy for 19 years and hate hearing that arrogant crap about Delta, its just a company. I would never say that to a north guy, you guys came from a good airline and worked your behinds off for it, something to be proud of.

On our side, the only thing I am getting tired of is hearing how this Delta way sucks, or that Delta shut down the freighters. Just as many of your folks are making decisions as are ours, so there is no more Delta, no more Northwest, the combined company is Delta in name only, as the composition and character are totally different. If it is better or worse that what you came from, that is something only you can decide.

As for me, some things better some worse, but thankful to have a job and the money to buy Xmas stuff for the family units. Here's hoping we ALL have a nice future ahead of us.

Imagine, you get to work over Xmas and actually get entered into a drawing for some passes, am SO jealous.

Cheers everyone, have a great Xmas!!

Gentlemen:

I asked a simple question. You guys turned into the fight or argument that it is.

A simple question. Never inferred or hinted anything.
