That is why we never fly on Delta Northwest Airways. Too much outsourseing and friction against their employees with their lockouts and outsoursed employee mechaics. We always fly AirTran Airlines. Its great.

You are obviously mistaken if you think that those at the majors are going to keep you safer than those of a regional. All pilots are trained to the best. But regional pilots have more landing and take offs than those at the big airlines you are speaking about. Particulary when the flight is across country or international flight as these pilots land even less!! You really need to spend less time worring about your pilot and get your facts straight. this is why our country is going the way it is because people read something and automatically think that it must be a fact!! Learn your history and spend less time watching TV and wrong reports. The news is NOT always right but a lot of you proablably think that our preseident deserves his noble prize too!! How sad that we have become a nation of babies.
