Found out that Scott Kirby was on my flight from DCA to ORD last night. Never came up front to say Hi. In my opinion, true Delta Bravo!!

Interesting, I just flew him from ORD to DEN and was surprised that he came up to the cockpit to chat. I thought he was a jumpseater at first. Young guy and pleasant at face value, we'll see soon enough what he's about.

I suppose if I had to pick, I'd prefer him to be competent at running things as opposed to putting down beers w/ the crew.

LOL!

Maybe you're not as important as you think you are, & maybe his job entails more than glad-handing the help.

Always remember, that's all we are to him. The help. Not coworkers.
And he doesn't even have time to be polite because he is too important.

I am OK with the management help not visiting the worker-bee help.

It doesn't matter to me, and sometimes I know that I have a DB in the back, and I would prefer not to meet him/her.

Once at band camp, I mean at a previous airline, I had Frank Lorenzo on the flight. Definitely didn't want him in the flight deck.

I once deadheaded in uniform to DCA with ALPA President Duane Woerth on board. He didn't bother to say hello to any of the crew either. So there.

I thought I heard "back in the day" that having Lorenzo on board was an MEL no go.

As far as Worthless, we don't need to talk to him directly. His personal assistant of many years at ALPA is our SRVP of Flight Operations.

Eh, wouldn't really bother me, either. Some of you guys are way too sensitive.

If he does think of us as "the help", whether or not he stops by to chat isn't an indication of it.
