I sincerely hope that Delta treats their pilots a lot better than that. We are all human and will make trivial errors now and again. Flight crews hopefully work in an environment where owning up to your mistakes is encouraged - this is one of the reasons why flight safety has improved. If the pilot is fearful of losing his job over a small mistake it’s hardly creating an environment for calm decision making.
