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.
 
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!

Big purple always covers their tails!
 
Wow....school must have let out.

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

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!

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
 
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

Find me one post that I made making fun of anyone who went off a runway. I know it could happen to anyone. I have made fun of Lubbock and Midland, primarily because I don't want to go to any of those types of cities, just like some of your people make fun of Lagos (still haven't gone there). So, all I can say is you are wrong.

Genital Lee would rather skip LBB or Midland and give that flying away....like other tiny city pairs. For example, Houston-Atlanta. Genitals doesn't want to stoop to flying between those ponunk cities.

No, that has been an A330 trip since the merger. Sounds like you have an inkling to go there, maybe buy your soulmate because your lack of personality repells them naturally over here. Thought so. With all that SWA cash and you still can't get a date here? Face it Slider, you stink!
