I'd say that just about clears it up. Got-it.

"but the guys hired from XJ outside of the flow were quite arrogant."

Like you said, nothing wrong with that but I'm curious, how many would that be exactly, that you know of that you base this opinion on?

How is that a gain? It was a loss. Id like to think not forclosing on our homes and supporting our families was more important.....

I know a lot of guys who applied there during the XJ bankruptcy before the merger of NWA/Delta. Not many got hired, I only know of about a handful.

The monetary bribe payment to vote yes. That was the gain, along with this Delta SSP which is going to help a lot of those who otherwise Delta wouldn't touch with a 10 foot pole. That was the other gain.

As for not foreclosing and supporting families, that's the same reason a scab gives, but everyone knows scabbing is crossing a huge line and a no-no. If one wouldn't scab, they still manage to take care of their mortgage and their families. I have faith you would have found something else to support your family. I'm not saying your situation is like a scab, I'm just saying to make a point.

Good, I wouldn't start over at another regional if I could help it. Good luck in your next endeavor, are you still in the airline industry?

I was waiting for someone to mention the S word completely out of context, and I knew who it would most likely be. and why even say crap like that and then have some BS disclaimer in the last sentence????? go ahead, if you thought of the scab word initially, call us scabs. Don't sugar coat it.

that is about as dumb as a Delta guy calling you a scab for going to a non union airline that pays less. And don't say "i didn't call you a scab, I was saying it's the same reasoning." BS. Like the post below mentions if you didn't think it, you wouldn't even have suggested that word anywhere in here. You really are low. I can't wait to see how you bash Virgin when you leave them!

WOW! Im amazed at the lack of maturity you just showed and maybe mental stability. Its kind of funny how you and others use the term scab so freely as if you have experience in that area. Last time I checked the definition of a Scab is crossing a picket line during a strike...when is the last time that happened? Way before I came to the airlines 13+ years ago.

Sounds like your one of those guys in the interview that met all the requirememnts but were able to fool them to think you were someone with character, integrity and professional. Probalbly on the Captains no fly list..Hope you go far with that kind of attitude..

Speaking of, next time I'm at work, I'm going to walk down C and D concourse and judge the regional guys that aren't wearing their hats. That's of course without making eye contact or acknowledging their presence.

What about us major guys who don't wear hats and make more $$$ than you?
