That said, if we are woefully unproductive vs. DAL, in many cases you could blame the strange pairings DAL assigned to us, just as much as the odd philosophies our Bid Production guys clung to. We'd run into Pinnacle guys telling us about 24-hour 4-days that were commutable on both sides, while senior FOs at Comair couldn't make min guarantee working four 4-day trips because the trips weren't worth enough.

I think everyone wants to see Delta flying performed solely by Delta pilots, but only you guys have the power to fight that fight. Good luck!
He was making his point based upon pilot cost per passenger carried. Not per hour or leg flown.
