If mainline flying decreases so will regional. Delta is protected to add over 800 pilot jobs to mainline because of the 717 deal. Add in the upcoming retirements, there will be plenty of movement to mainline.

70-seat or pound sand? They indeed will pound sand and continue to let you fly under a bankruptcy contract while Delta pilots enjoy upgrades, movement, and 50% better pay and benefits than UniCal pilots all because you want the all or nothing home run on scope.

Eventually you will tire of pounding your fist on the table and agree to a reasonable scope deal. But the money you could have made had you been reasonable earlier, you will never get back. Time value of money, this is something management understands, and pilots do to. And you wonder why they keep winning

Once again, good luck fellas
