LOL! You're living in a dreamland if you think this ALPA flowthrough is gonna work for all as advertised! More likely, those poor "blojet" guys will get hired at Delta off the street quicker than you'll flow. Ask Eagle guys how the 2 for 1 Eagle pilots in AA newhire classes flow worked out for them.
ALPA at Delta just sold you out, but they'll tell you it's for the greater good and that they are protecting all pilot jobs. Will make the pill a little easier to swallow when all the 50 seater ALPA RJ pilots are furloughed and thrown to the streets with as a result of an ALPA-agreed TA. Serving two masters at once, both majors and regionals? Don't get me wrong, it's great and about time Delta takes the flying back and will now fly CRJ-200 routes in a 717. That is good news. But the same representation group, ALPA, is also suppose to represent the regional interest. One cannot grow without negatively impacting the other!
