That's the sad part.

"No money in freight," but our JV partners keep adding new build 777Fs to their fleet.

I'm all for belly cargo, bring it on. But let seniority and the bidding system decide if Delta pilots want to fly pax vs freight. This is a big hole in our current PWA...

At one point similar sentiment permitted the rapid and unprecedented growth of RJs at Delta. There is no other airline that has as many RJs as Delta does.
That ship has sailed, I know, but there are important lessons to be learned from recent history. I hope we can use them to improve, simplify and strengthen our PWA going forward.
