That's the crux of it.
Delta pilot count = seniority = pay.
No growth =
you figure it out.
As long as others were furloughing the MEC CC response to AS scope was "you should be happy to have a job, others are furloughing"
With others recalling/hiring, the question is what happens now at Delta?
What will be the new "response" to AS scope?
Looking downrange, further airline industry consolidation is inevitable.
Where does that leave Delta pilots at the SLI table?
The RJs were bad enough and lucky for us self correcting with current fuel prices. The AS feed is just like the RJs but with bigger jets and fewer restrictions.
Bottom line:
Delta pilots should fly the feed for Delta international flying.
