Delta uniform for sale

Miles, I hate to get into the game of slamming another, but can I just say without offending- you cheapen yourself and the profession with that sort of comment.
If you want to drive a bus at 55 mph, on the ground, where you can pull over if you want, then you might be right. I've worked in the airlines (majors) for six years now, not a long time, but it makes the division easier- in six years I've pulled in about, oh, 165k. Maybe. High side. They say if you haven't been furloughed, you aren't a real airline pilot? Guess that makes me a real one.
If I could make good bucks the last two, three years before retiring, I'd look at that as a good thing. You're so dang married to your company (seniority being what it is), that when it tanks, you've got squat and best you can hope is to start at the bottom again- assuming you can still pass the medical, at another airline. The old farts got what they were worth when they (IF they) made it to the top of the seniority heap. C'mon, think about the career you've (presumably) chosen for yourself. Don't put yourself, your worth down. It isn't becoming.

It is a life lesson, I hope everyone is Paying attention. There is no such thing as corporate loyalty, Never depend on anyone or thing for your financial security. You must develope a plan of your own. promises are just that, promises

I think he forgot to add "Suit has egg yolk stains from being worn while squeezing neck of golden chicken."

Miles, you are a tool.

I find it sad that one pilot would put down a group of professionals for wanting to collect a piece of what was once the largest pie ever created by an airline. If the pilots did not take their piece management surely would.

I found the ebay add pathetic and sad. Wearing that uniform(Western acutually) was something that I dreamed about since I was a kid. I now cannot leave corporate and accept the substandard wages that the new "majors" are offering.

That's the stupidest thing I have ever heard. You can buy wings from their memorabilia section or at any aviation specific store. Shirts and epaulets from Sporty's or numerous other outlets.

Why do people think polyester pants and a taxi cab drivers hat is so special that anyone can't just buy one?


eBay got a call from someone at Delta and they caved.

It's ebay policy.
