A new hire asking a ridiculous question like that is just embarrassing and proves once again how low the standards have fallen in Chicago.

At least the axeman didn’t get a life sentence for beating his wife like this Delta pilot. So this happened awhile back. Did Delta lower their standards first or did they never have them at all?

LAXtoDEN's posting history is proof that DAL has truely scraped bottom and is desperately hiring any trash they can.

Could you possibly imagine posting childish jibberish like he does on another airline's page? Truely the definition of amateur hour.

Ha, ha. Yeah, the guy is just a complete embarrassment. You guys run a great operation and everyone who isn't an insecure DB knows it. I love where I am, but the numbers and passenger loyalty don't lie. 99% are the quiet professionals and that's the way to be. It's just guys like him that are where all the jokes/stereotypes come from.

Beers on me in SAN! We all just fly planes.

If timing had been different I would be over there. To attack the TK professionals doing hiring by a Delta guy is pretty classless.

Just flew with a know it all corporate guy with 100hrs 121 that already has a captain bid. First bigger jet and serious napoleon complex. We have trouble brewing. If you can smile and nod you are 80% of the way there at tk. If you have problems at tk you are probably the issue.

Hopefully you took the time to mentor the half-winger and if that didn’t work Pro-Stans/new hire mentor

Doubtful. The biggest whiners seem to be all bark no bite.

I agree. Most of the new hires I fly with on the Bus are decent. There’s only been one that was a half winger that needed some serious mentoring. I ended talking with Pro-Standards/his new hire mentor. Seems I wasn’t the only one to have issues with his attitude. (Former F9 CA).

One thing I see quite often is a blank stare from new FO’s is when I ask them about the flight plans/fuel. A good majority of them just say “my other CA’s just add 1000lbs” or they have no good reason to add fuel. That opens the door to mentoring and my thought process on adding fuel
