Uh oh.
And more ALPA pilots get canned while Non-union and IBT pilots gain work.
That 35% should have been 50-70%...
There won't be very many ALPA regional pilots left at DCI when this is over. With the number of pilots Delta needs to hire in the next decade, most of the current DCI guys who survive this mess and want to work for Delta, will eventually work for Delta. That's of course if Delta sticks to that 35%. It's not all bad news for us.
