This is all too true...we have a great contract and a great pilot group and its a shame that not everyone gets a chance to impress HR. The 6 or 7 year gear slingers...( I was one ) are the ones that will probably stay around long term with the upgrades right around 2 years at this point. I can tell everyone attending the job fairs this much....if they have even the slightest intuition that your gonna bail for Delta in two years...theyll throw your resume in the trash in seconds....they want kool-aid drinkers that are excited about the growth and the future. Believe me we have our flaws and im not saying I wouldnt give my left buckeye to work at DAL....just make sure you sell yourself as an NK junkie...good luck everyone
I think you said it better than I tried to. And despite what our management may say out there, upgrade is not dropping below two years. It's not at two years yet anyway and probably never will be.
