2 months on Virginia Ave really sucks. There is no sugar coating it. If you can get a car there do it and you will be everyones best friend. Being new hires, we were all very excited to be there so it went by really fast. We usually took the MARTA into downtown ATL on weekends for our getaways. Looking forward to seeing new hires soon.
I shouldn't laugh, I have to be down there for training for a week soon and I love my truck.

Unless u are every guy in DTW who's hat is always located in the back of their bag. I've been told these are NWA guys but who knows. It is quite funny to see though.

Reserve in LGA can suck, since you are required to cover all three airports, but there is no S-80 flying at JFK, so really just LGA and EWR.

That statement is wrong. UAL didn't raise the bar for pay. With UAL get 8.5% in January and Delta getting 3% Delta will still be higher. UAL should have signed a deal that exceeded Delta's pay from day one. They didn't pattern bargin in a manner that gave Delta the ability to spring board off of in two years.

I guess some guys think they look like this as they get out of their plane without a hat:
but really, you're wearing a short sleeved shirt with a tie with dangley stuff hanging off it plus a pair of wings. Or at CAL some chose to have theirs sewn on...? But it really reminds me of the picture below and instead of looking like Maverick without a hat you look more like Jim Carrey on the right:
So let me be clear, nobody looks cool in this setup to begin with. The hat actually makes an ugly uniform idea look right.
^^^ Typical MD-88 Delta pilot with the hat on.
