Spooky there is no need to hope, I think I can speak for most saying that we all feel the way you do about DAL pilots in general. GL if you doubt what is being said just ask an old Western pilot at DAL.
MY Uncle was former Western. Retired from Delta off the ER in 2001 and was very fond of Delta. He felt like he had a great career and was happy to retire from Delta flying the ER. His only gripe with the Delta Pilots was that they would never have the balls to strike. I would say he was right on the $ there!
