Stop blaming the Delta TA

That is incorrect. You must not be familiar with the home construction industry. Wages for skilled labor rise and fall with aggregate demand. And I'm sure that if I sat down and thought about this for a while, there would be many other occupations that have seen wages rise commensurate with labor supply shortfalls.

Titans,

How many regional pilots do you think would trade places with you? I think they all suffer far more than you ever have. Yet they show up with a smile on their faces.

If a sub-contractor shows up at my hut to do work, I'd expect the smile! Not my issue he chose to work for the sub and not the GC....

You have a lack of insight. DO you really think most of us as the regional level choose to work here? Most of us are products of circumstances. We work here because this is where we were told was the first stepping stone to get to the majors. Maybe you big shot big plane flyers should question your companies on why they hire less qualified pilots with limited time and experience because they fit an HR need or some notion that some formula by some statistic company says lower time pilots are more trainable.

You can expect anything you want. You'll actually get what you pay for. In the case of airlines like Delta, the multiple subcontractors make the product extremely inconsistent.
