Or a little more centric to our needs: "Ask why is your Delta flight not being flown by Delta pilots?

The connotation on that last question would be a problem for ALPA to run with because how can ALPA in good faith say Delta Air Lines pilots are better than Pinnacle/Comair/ExpressJet/Alaska/Compass pilots who are also ALPA?

The general direction here though is, shame them out of regional service.
