WayBack: Aren't the Comair and ASA guys flying their airplanes in the most fuel effeciant manner, to save Delta as much money possible? Isn't Delta shedding ASA and Comair?
So who says the same isn't for you?
No, they are not. Which is fine. At the same time, they are parading around here with their superior attitude that THEY do not have to call for wind checks. They don't ask how long final is--like it is some kind of badge of honor. It is not. I don't ask for wind checks unless it is severely gusty, and I don't ask how long the final is. I derive both from other sources. Also, I do not go parading around all over FI saying how every trip through Atlanta, there is some ASA or Comair flight that is constantly missing radio calls. True as it might be, and also a legitimate safety issue, I just have more important things to do with my time.
PS
I love the guys who go from a regional to Mother Delta. They get this ego about them that they are better than everyone else. When not too long ago, you were flying the same Barbie Jet.
I even know a former regional guy who had longer than average hair for a male pilot. Now he's at Delta and he has a flat top. Guess he's trying to blend in with the former Military pilots.
Perhaps they are just taking a more professional approach to their appearance, or just feel as if they are around more professional pilots. One thing about the typical Delta pilot, they are always trying to get or make themselves better people. No so at some places, where many have already peaked.
Keep trying.
