There have been pilots hired at DL from Comair, but very few when compared to the number of ASA pilots.
The DL pilots are not happy with us because of that letter, I don't really blame them. I wasn't here at the time it happened, so hopefully time will eventually heal the wound.
That being said Delta isn't the only good job out there.

Also I know of a flight attendant who just got her a$$ handed to her. Seems like the judge doesn't like to be lied to. Yes, husbands don't have to take it from lying *****s!!!
Okay that is all.........maybe.

To wit, Delta has opened up thier application window and have started hiring pilots again.

She had flight crews thinking he was a real tool etc and tried to ruin his rep and career. Basically what happened is that in the end, the truth came out and now she is the one who got her just desserts. It's like Evilboy said a few threads back, they can talk a lot and try to ruin a persons rep but it's thier's that gets it in the end.
Anyhoo, has anyone gone to see Ironman 2 yet?

Guys,
As a current DAL pilot who was around for the Comair strike, 9-11, furloughs etc, here is my 2 cents.
I along with most DAL do not hate anyone at Comair. I don't think I even know anyone at Comair. Yes, I am familiar with the "Letter" and have even posted it on this website when the topic came up. Not a high point for pilot solidarity, but not the end of the world also. I am not on the hiring committee but if I was I would take everything into account and would still hire Comair guys if I felt good about them. I do admit if it was a tie between a Comair guy and a ASA guy – the ASA guy would get the tie-breaker.
I also admit I would take the letter and the poor treatment of DAL pilots (from my perspective) into account and for guys at Comair pre 2001 it would be a negative, but not a deal breaker. For any Comair pilot hired after 2004 it would not even be an issue. I do admit I would have a hard time with any Comair MEC guys from that time frame - but people are individuals and I would like to think I would give everybody the benefit of the doubt. That being said, I am not a saint and can not say for 100% how I would handle every situation.
As far as why the Comair guys never had a flow through I was told the DAL MEC offered to bring them over to our list around 2000 to 2001 but the Comair guys wanted DOH which was a deal breaker. If that is indeed true, in hindsight it appears to have been a colossal blunder.
Finally, DAL has indeed hired Comair guys – so if you want to work at DAL update your application!
Just my 2 cents - Scoop
