That is why I said kill myself at an even faster rate. I already know about the radiation, no reason for me to compound it by flying the back side of the clock.

Do you work for Delta? If not, on what information are you basing your assertion? I'm not seeing what you're seeing.

Even the Delta north guys hate the Atlanta based pilots. They are not shy about it either. Source: a Delta north pilot.

I think the radiation harms at a mere fraction of the rate that decades of circadian rhythm interruption from red eye flying will do to the body. Every living thing deals with varying levels of radiation, not everyone stays up all night. But Purple and Brown do have pensions!

Second Spirit. More than doubling the fleet, everyone loves the job, new higher paying contract around the corner, great quality of life, no hats or egos.

What about the thousands of Delta north guys based in Atlanta? Do they hate themselves?

AA for me. Mainly for the Miami base. Living in the FL Keys, boat in the back yard.

Surely Delta will keep one or two of those bases. Otherwise they'd have no foothold in the central US, a natural staging point for East/West transfers.
