If Bar is right...

Then this industry has truly gone into it's jenga phase. Don't anyone screw up the status quo, don't grow into markets other airlines own and they won't retaliate.

If you need to make money, make it off the back of your employees.

100 seat jets? Aren't these like the 76 seat jets in that Delta doesn't want them, BUT will order in mass as long as Delta's own employees promise not to touch them?

The good news though Bar is Delta is not shrinking, if they can get us to give up scope to keep pilots from being furloughed then they can expand mightily with 100 seat regional jets at what was once formally called Delta Connection (but is now just referred to as Delta) and furlough pilots anyways. Or maybe not furlough, just let attrition take its course and don't hire.

I think Hockey once mentioned at 9 years in the company he will have only moved up 1000 numbers if that according to the predictions. If we lose 100 seat jets to DCI then my bet is pilots at 90% will be at 90% in 2020.

I hope too Bar that Slow shows up and tells you you're wrong... and that he's right. Nothing personal.
