Rants:
Delta has lost over 25 Billion dollars in the last few years.
Nothing to do with pilot wages.
No one in management will ever be held accountable for it's completely blatant negligence.
Instead, management, the media and people who have no idea what we do for a living will blame the pilots.
Even when things are good these business plans earn a very small percentage of profit.
Delta should have been completely transforming many years ago. This also applies to Northwest, United and US Air.
For as long as I can remember, it has been management executive types, together with attorneys and judges, who have raped airlines, leaving wakes of destruction in their paths.
Throughout the years I have met aviators like yourself who think we earn to much money.
To compare us to hoop shooters is ridiculous. They get to miss 60% of their shots per game.
We don't get to miss any.
God bless you and please smell the coffee.
