Maybe you are being sarcastic, but that's an RJ, not Delta.

Says Delta on the jet. Passengers bought tickets on Delta. Headline says Delta. Maybe they should change the paint scheme to say "weak pilot group gave away flying" to clarify for the flying public. That may be a little long to fit on the side of a jet. Anyhoo....looks like Delta ran one off a runway in Houston.

Totally agree. Only recognizable wreckage in Buffalo was the CAL logo on the tail. CAL spokesmen and management couldn't say "Colgan" more times in the next several months than if they were getting $1000 every time they said it. One of the most significant cost savings in using regional carriers is the insurance liability costs are separate. The families of the Buffalo accident fought to change this and sued CAL and went so far as to win the right to look at mainline pilots training and records to prove CAL knowledge of different levels of safety but were finally circumvented with BK and the endless rope-a-dope. 18 are still pushing.

No kidding. I bet CAL wished the tail had burned up with the rest of the wreckage.

This is the consequence of being a weak pilot group. Delta pilots voted for this in their last contract, so they own this due to their weakness.

Agreed, I'll give ya that

The article says that Delta was going to rebook them on other Delta flights. Looks like those folks get to roll the bones on another Delta flight. Lets hope Delta can keep this one on pavement!

At least Delta only gave away Houston-Atlanta flying. They can't be bothered flying not small cities!

70 passengers onboard. What kind of plane was it?

A Delta plane.

Big purple always covers their tails!

A Delta plane.

You know, no matter the genesis of this particular personal vendetta, this stuff is really, really funny!

"A Delta plane"; man you break me up...

 

[BILL LUMBERG]

Wow....school must have let out.

Tankers butt still hurts from his denial letter from the last round of hiring?

 

[Flyer1015]

Who was this really? Pinnacle? ASA? Skywest? It wasn't a Delta mainline jet.

Hi Tanky. The last contract allows DL to get rid of an extra 140 RJs total. That means FEWER RJs. You can't dump all of them at once for feed reasons and replacements (mainline 717s) are on the way from your own airline, SWA. Yes, you are a SWA pilot. Have a great one Tanky!


Bye Bye---General Lee

How's that? Explain please.

[Tanker Clown]

Genitals, was it you that went off the runway in Houston? Very embarrassing for you no doubt.

 

[N1atEcon]

How's that? Explain please.

Dont play the meek innocent line pilot now. If that would have been you know who, you would have been the first one on here posting about how the AMA/LBB line holding cowboys couldn't handle a big airport. Blah blah blah

 

[Tanker Clown]

Makes you think twice about buying tickets on Delta. If this Delta guy got the jet in the air, there's a pretty good chance he would have landed on the taxiway in ATL. Maybe going off the runway was the safest thing that could have happened.

I wonder if this "Delta" pilot has a union membership? Hmmm
