Maybe that horse can be brought back to the barn?? I think MANY are underestimating the LEVERAGE the pilot group currently possesses.
I am just curious, why do you think that could be accomplished in 2018, but not now??
I realize that the 70/76 jet is the correct one for MANY markets. That is why I would like to see the cap left where it is, and any future 76 or larger jets flown at mainline. Let the company fly as many 76s as they want, and where they want. Just insist that any future ones be flown at mainline. Negotiate a 76 and a 90 seat rate that is realistic to the Delta pilot group and is manageable for the company.
Don't underestimate the leverage at hand.
