I don't know about you, but many new hires I fly with were in junior high during "The Lost Decade" so no, it didn't happen to great many of them.

Quote:

His n/b relative seniority will accelerate as a greater percentage of the guys senior to him transition to w/b flying. That's a factor when you compare a purely n/b final seniority progression vs a seniority progession that includes w/b flying. If you only want to fly n/b 85-90% of the guys senior to you will leave the n/b flying. So retiring as #2000 will even more senior as a n/b CA. Current #2000 is #149 system wide as a 737 CA.

Doesn't mean much if your bases are undesirable and/or the movement in certain bases is nonexistant. It's kinda like our MCO and ATL base, though MCO will be interesting to see after this vacancy bid given how many openings as well as our BNA base. You have your senior bases where, despite the movement and hiring, senior people just pile in on top, or the company is just stagnating the base. Don't you also have some bases that are also stagnant and there's no movement in them?

You make the profession look like we’re flying plumbers, which I’m sure is why you earned that nickname from management.

You have a very odd form of animosity towards SWA and SWA pilots? Why?

Again, show the class on the doll where SWA hurt you.

I’ve had multiple friends from my previous shop come here from AA/DL in the last year and a few more looking at it since new contract. As my one buddy put it.. you’ll lose your sense of humor quickly at DL.

He got rejected by SWA because he's obviously a moron and has a personality of a door knob. Either that, or a girlfriend or wife of his left him for a SWA pilot and he's gotta compensate. Or perhaps he's one of those psychopaths who gets off on making himself feel better by trying to put down other people. I guess he fell through the cracks at MMPI...

Are any of you old enough to remember "General Lee", who claimed to be a DAL pilot on the old Flightinfo forums?

He/she/they/it trolled the SW forums like this and other trolls do here. Folks argued with that moron over exactly the same stuff that he/she/they/it are bringing up on here, for years, gloating about the many advantages of being at DAL vs. here.

In the long run, it turned out that the good General wasn't even a pilot, much less one for DAL.

I am getting a feeling of Deja Vu with LAX/DEN and a few others.

It's not just SWA. He's continually over in the UAL forums hating on them, plus Skywest. My instinct tells me he'd not a DAL pilot as he claims, but got fired from OO and turned down by every other carrier he applied to. Nothing else explains his level of vitriol. Maybe he's a DAL ramper who washed out of Riddle...

He is a sawed off little runt with small mans syndrome, who runs from forum to forum projecting his insecurities.
