what I'd like to see is the ratio of our flying vs. the 76 & 70 seat AC start to favor our direction.
Basically I want DCI to go away.
I also call any 76 seater a DC9-10. We kill our profession by letting these AC being outsourced. We kill the future Delta pilots by shortening the longevity (due to lack of jobs at mainline). The payrate of a 76 seater should be DC9 pay. That is what it is replacing. DCI will never match that rate.
Good point, DC9-10 = EJet and Cramped Jet 900.
So there's a bumper sticker for you: "DC-9 Size? Then At Mainline It Flies."
or
"It Ain't Fine To Outsource the Nine."
