I had a chance to go through most airports in this country lately. Its pretty easy to see who's who. The Southwest / FedEx / UPS pilots are walking around with their big fat wallets and are treated like professional airline pilots. All the Delta Pilots are slinking around proudly wearing their hats while management outsources more of their jobs. But hey, at least they have more pilots to look down on.
Actually, RJs are being parked more often, mainly 50 seaters and even some Saab props. The people who are really seeing their jobs outsourced are the DCI pilots. Ask the Skywest and ASA guys what it feels like losing 12 CR7s, that were once Comair's, to Gojet! Ouch.
And the FedEx and UPS guys, if you see them during the daylight hours, look really tired with those big wallets, while the Southwest guys look a bit worried about their uncertain outcome with the Airtran pilots. They are also running down the concourse for food before the 20 minute turn is up and they have to push for leg 2 of 5 for the day.
Godspeed!
