I heard that about you. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

If the Endeavor pilots are ALPA that can't happen. The company would never buy it because it would put them 4th behind AMR, UAL and SWA in recruiting pilots.

I hear this on an almost weekly basis from captains I fly with. And it seems to mostly be them (capts) who believe it. I think its more wishful thinking than anything. I don't think its out of the realm of possibility that the 900s may wind up being flown at mainline, but I doubt we will go with those aircraft without being made to interview.

I will say this about Atlanta drivers, a lot of them need to be pulled over. They suck.

So after we staple Endeavor, how many pilots will we have?

If Delta were to do it's own flying, it would not put Delta behind other airlines for recruiting pilots. Delta flying being done by Delta pilots would increase the desirability and number of Delta positions.
Are Delta pilots turning down class dates because they might have to fly a 717?

Your repeating the tired old Chuck Giambusso justification for outsourcing fifteen years later makes it no more correct now than it was then; when such bigotry led to the furlough of thousands of mainline pilots.

Delta jobs are good flying jobs. If we recapture scope level of scope, then those will be Delta jobs.
