This isn't the time or place for this but I think it's a discussion worth having. This is such a pipe dream and fantasy. There is a niche that the majors will NEVER be able to fill profitably. And the major pilots know this. Yet, they use regional guys as pawns just as much as management. Their Contracts are improved partly on the backs of regional pilots. They don't give two $#!? about us, and they pretend they do. "someday you'll be allowed in the club boys!" just don't ask too much now."
Mother Delta has made some horrific mistakes, and this is a shame for the families at Comair. And the pilots at Delta have a right and obligation to their families to protect and grow their work. But don't, for one second, think D pilots give two cents about you.
